This has been fixed on the Test Server. It be necessary to have a magical item equipped on characters shoulder to achieve a slam on magical creatures. This should be updated on Wed. Dec. 8.

Verant was using the DrTwister.com forums as an informal bug source for a few months in 99.

Fix is corroborated in patch notes for Dec 8th 1999:
