Fascinate Issues?

[guzzlr]

Been running a lot of bards, and started noticing some odd fascinate issues. Just curious if others have as well. Lords of Dust EE, level 26 Aasimar Swashie. When I fascinate and try Coup de Grace, it never attempts the actual coup. It swings, hits, and never states "You hit cultist with coup de grace" (or something very similar). If I trip them out of fascinate, then coup, I get the correct message and 9 times out of 10 they die. Try the same thing on the Jarlith cats critters and they can be couped right out of fascinate.

Anybody noticed these shenanigans?

More info:

Running LH Disciples of rage. Every player race based bd guy was unable to be CDG when fascinated. Half orc, halfing, human, dwarf, drow, etc. No CDG check was even made, just a normal swing to hit. Trip first out of fascinate and and CDG went off every time. Other bad guys aside from player based races? No problems.

Bug report incoming.

The damage from your attack is breaking fascinate before the CDG part goes off. It's been like that forever. Some mobs like the Jarlith cats have DR, which if it reduces the hit damage to 0, allows you to CDG the mob, since there is no damage to break fascinate before the CDG goes off.

Thank you. Never noticed it before and just happened to be fighting a batch of critters that this kept popping up on.
