credit for a kill

Not that it matters much, but sometimes I wonder who gets credit for a kill.

If my fighter type whacks an enemy with a sword, then of course he is the one to get credit.

Does the game remember that my ranger / alchemist cast the acid bomb that eventually did the deed?

How about when my bard causes insanity and one of the enemy kills another? That is even more indirect.

Somewhat related, from the v1.2.4 patch text.

"Spells that kill directly (Instant Death, Asphyxiation, etc.) do not award kills to their casters. The kill will go to the last character to damage that target instead. If nobody ever damaged that character, no kill is awarded. [This minor bug would now require too much work to fix properly. Sorry]"
