 Current score.
 
-The scoring system is pretty straightforward. Each enemy you kill will give you points according to 5% of its base health, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 10 and capped to 1000, plus some extra bonuses for feats such as multikills *(within 5 seconds of each other)*, gibbing enemies, killing bosses, and much more!
+The scoring system is pretty straightforward. Each enemy you kill will give you points according to 5% of its base health, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 10 and capped to 1000 *(and multiplied by the current skill's damage factor)*, plus some extra bonuses for feats such as multikills *(within 5 seconds of each other)*, gibbing enemies, killing bosses, and much more!
 
 You are also given score for finding secrets and counted items, +100 for each secret, +1000 if it's the final one and +10 for each item or +500 if it's the final one. In addition, +5000 will be given to all players if the level is fully cleared *(100% kills/items/secrets)*.
