Bah. Sorry for the double post, forgot to answer the second part of this.
For panning, what I was thinking of is this. Say a harpy tosses a lightning
bolt at you. So you hear the lightning sound, only instead of staying
stationary and then hearing a pain cry, you hear the bolt pan across the
screen to your character so you know how close its getting so you can dodge.
If it hits, you hear an electrical explosion as your character yells out.
This would be a little odd for arrows, but you could always do what graphic
audio does in that situation and give the arrow a kind of high speed
propellor or wind sound to signify its flight. It'd make attacks a bit
easier to avoid and make them more realistic, in my opinion. Just a
suggestion though.

Hi,
As I just mentioned in the previous post there are two reasons why a
weapon might not be doing any damage. First, you are too close. If you are
too close you can't correctly aim, swing your sword, etc because of lack
of room to maneuver in. Second, the enemy is out of range. In that case
you flat out miss because it is too far away to hit.
As far as your panning suggestion can you explain further? I'm afraid I'm
not sure exactly what you are suggesting/asking.
As for ducking I know it is fairly messed up. I've tried, but can't
exactly get it right. If I don't resolve it soon I'm strongly considering
just scrapping the duck command altogether. That's how annoyed I am with
it right now. Grin.

Yeah, I've seen something like this before, sometimes your weapons just
outright stop working on enemies and you have to run in the opposite
direction and turn back around to be able to do damage. Also, any chance
the attacks could have some kind of connection sound and panning, so
crouching would be a bit easier and make more sense? At the moment it
just sounds odd, you hear the attack go off, then the character just
randomly yells out, haha. Its kind of amusing, but makes getting into any
kind of rhythm a bit tough. Also every once in a while crouching seems to
disable itself, if you hold it down you'll crouch a bunch in rapid
succession, but if you try to time it, sometimes crouch just outright
doesn't work and you end up taking a hit before you can crouch again.
