    Coming soon: DaJAngband 1.0.98 (teaser)

    I thought I'd make a wizard mode character dump with as much new features showing in the dump as I could get, just as a teaser for DaJAngband 1.0.98.
    I'll have to get it so the whole object descriptions show in the character dump instead of only some parts. Weapon description shows average damage, chance of critical hit, and notes whether it will cause an edged weapon penalty.
    I've separated the throwing and shooting skills and added throwing weapons (as you can see). I combined alertness with seaching frequency.
    Only main gauches and certain (uncommon) defender weapons can be wielded in the shield slot. It is only for defence, I haven't put in duel-wielding.
    Staffs being able to get weapon bonuses can cause problems with stacking, so I added a free command "&" which will remove combat bonuses from a magic staff to allow it to stack with others of its type. Also, ammo "of wounding" stacks with normal ammo with the same amount of bonuses now, since "of wounding" has no special powers.
    Some monsters are not asleep before they notice the player. They walk around the dungeon, going about their business until they notice you.
    There's been several spell changes (epecially in the prayer and alchemy magic realms), and a few new magic items and egos.
    Of course, I'll include a full changelist with the release announcement, but I thought I'd rattle off a few things early caused I'm excited about it. I've done a lot with it in the past few months.

    Complete Unnessesary Disclaimer: The following is not a real game. It is kindof an advertisement dump from a wizard mode game where I just created a bunch of new stuff to put on display in my inventory.

    Seeing as you are 'sacrificing' the bonuses, how about translating them into an appropriate number of charges?

      Inventory slots are plenty valuble enough for the tradeoff.

        I'll look forward to seeing what's been changed in prayer, and the throwing weapons sound incredibly fun.
