    elliptic discovered that removing the leading v from [Angband v4.0beta-asdohfiasdfh Character Dump] is all it takes to revive the chardump parser -- not sure why the master builds leave a leading v while the nightlies don't, but who cares really

      Nice. The thing that's happening is the master build picks up the git tag for the last release, which is v4.0beta. Our tagging has been inconsistent in having a v or not - I guess this says just don't.

      So it won't be fixed for this comp, but it will for the first official 4.0 release one

        New build should be up shortly, which fixes re-arrange message spam, among others.

              They can get even better, this bow is <+2> might, there are some that are both <+2> might AND shooting speed. And instead of ESP (which is pretty fantastic) you can get rStun. Off-head stunning protection is quite rare and, to me, highly desirable. You can then conceivably don Morgoth's Massive Iron Crown and have perfect resistance.

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

                Um .. no. Lothlorien bows do not add shots. +2 might and +5 dex (plus FA and the random ability) is as good as it gets. Which is pretty freakin' good.

                  Yes, you're right. I forgot that was only Slings of Buckland that did that, which can in some cases outperform every bow except one in the hands of a ranger.
