      It turns arrows into foam formed darts. Great for kids to play with!

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

              +10 extra shots would be what in terms of energy?

              How does that work in code level anyway? Does it divide energy needed for getting turn or multiply energy player gets / turn?

                It reduces the energy cost of the action. So normally, firing a shot would cost you 100 energy; with +10 shots, it would cost you 9 energy (100/11). Thus the amount of time that needs to pass before you get your next turn is greatly reduced.

                The energy you get per game turn is strictly determined by your speed; nothing else affects it (except insofar as it affects your speed).

                  Did not find this one, but had it been named Swiss army knife I wouldn't have been surprised. Decent damage combined with fire immunity, protection against confusion, telepaty and activation for tele other

                    The part I don't understand is it being based on itself. I thought this was a bug that had been fixed. Aren't randarts supposed to be based on the standart set? Or are they iterating from a previous randart set?

                      Yeah this bug was not fixed. You get the correct description only the first time, unless you set "Use same set of randarts" to off.

                        In fact, a more general statement is true - there is more than one unfixed randart bug in 4.0. The randart code has been less fully restructured than most other bits, because its intricacies made it difficult to redo without seriously affecting how randarts work - in fact, there are a umber of hacks in there to try to maintain the 3.5 behaviour. This was mostly successful, but when I venture in there again it's likely to be with a flamethrower, and randarts won't look quite the same afterwards.

                              Nice, but a hat of telepathy still takes priority. I keep that thing in the house till I get another source of ESP.

                                Quite ridiculous, aside from the "aggravates monsters" bit.
                                Code:
                                l) the Ring of Fire 'Mannar' <+3, +1>
                                     Dropped by Hoarmurath of Dir at 3500 feet (level 70)
                                     
                                     +3 strength.

                                     +3 speed.
                                     Provides resistance to acid, lightning, fire, poison gas, dark, shards, chaos, disenchantment.
                                     Provides protection from confusion.
                                     Cannot be harmed by lightning.
                                     Prevents paralysis.  Grants the ability to see invisible things.

                                Edit: Actually, that reminds me that I should post the one that my first winner had:
                                Code:
                                d) the Ring of Adamant 'Arath' (+6,+8) <+5>
                                     Dropped by The Witch-King of Angmar at 4000 feet (level 80)
                                     
                                     +5 strength.
                                     +5 intelligence.

                                     Provides protection from confusion.
                                     Cannot be harmed by lightning.
                                     Sustains wisdom.
                                     Slows your metabolism.  Prevents paralysis.  Sustains your life force.
                                Double elemental immunity, pConf, free action, hold life, hefty stat boosts, and a couple of nice niche resists?! Man, that was one hell of a ring
