    Well, while we're kicking ideas around, how about adding a new page to the knowledge menu that compares the resistances of all items you currently own (whether they're equipped, in the inventory, or in the home) in one long scrollable list, something like this?

    Code:
    [bc=black][color=gray]

    ...Of course, I leave the exercise of how you'd actually code something like this for other people to deal with.

      *Sigh*

      You know I'm going to have to do this now, right? I hope you're happy.

        Awesome! Maybe add a (f)loor category along with (e)quip, (i)nventory, and (h)ome.

            That is a bit harder to understand. I actually like having everything in compact form--it's easy to see at a glance, and the colors and symbols give a good enough hint.
            What I thought might be more useful is the inventory and home resistance stuff, so you can see that at a glance, too.
            (Scrollable is almost synonymous with "hard to see at a glance.")

              I'm really, really, sorry, Nick. All I wanted was to know I didn't have to buff a temporary resist when I had an immunity. I didn't mean to open up this whole can of worms.

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.”

                This entire forum is a can of worms. Every thread gets derailed.

                All of them.

                  With curses aren't there more than 3 levels of resist now?
