SVN / 3.1.0 first thoughts: Why no RNether? (Fork off of the Narya thread)

[pesachyonah]

Why has RNether become essentially impossible to find without prodigious scumming for three very deep artifacts? Shouldn't there be at least an ego-type, e.g. "of Life Force" which provides RNether and Hold Life?

I've never managed to get a char past stat gain (I don't play with enough patience or caution, really), but my sense is that trying to win the game without Nether is more than occasionally a dicey proposition.

Hmm noone is complaining that resMana is impossible to find, so let's just remove rNether from those other arts as well and just put a big warning sign in front of Azriel that sais "deadly Angel, only to be attacked by the strongest warriors". Oh wait apparently that's already the case
