It specifies the actual damage... you could change it to something like
damage(ch, vict, number(1, GET_STR(ch)), SKILL_BASH);
for a nice variable damaging bash.

For failures, just use 0 as the amount of damage and the standard miss
message (from lib/etc/messages, or code generated) will show up.

In fight.c, function damage()  ... search for GET_HIT( and it'll be
just above above that.
