I thought I'd warn you that there does appear to be a bug in warcry, and I intend to fix it. Sometimes it may be applying the effects twice. I'd suspect if you're seeing the message twice, then you're getting the effects twice and you should not be surprised if this stops. (For example, the max hp bonus it can give is +100; the level below this of hp bonus is +60. If you're getting more than +100 then you are definitely getting affected twice).
Also, I am going to change it to make the hp bonus work like temporary hp do in D&D, which is that you get them during the warcry and if you use them, great, but if you don't they go away when the warcry wears off. Basically, damage goes to the warcry extra hp first, and only when they are exhausted does it start hitting your real hp. This will fix a possible exploit where warcry could be used for free (if slow) healing. Allegedly there is not widespread use of this exploit, in which case this should have little visible effect.
