v4: whither DSM?

[GeoffHill]

Ringil can't be true Angband flavor- I've never found it!

I'd just like to make a point that there are things that have been in Angband for a long time (Angels, etc), that are not necessarily good even if they have been a part of the game for a long time. IMO breathing from DSM seems like something that -could- be part of a Tolkien universe. It's over-powered if you find dsm at low level, otherwise it's a nice rechargable louse killer or something to kill a fleeing monster down to 1 star. I don't mind it, although as I mentioned above, other activations wouldn't be so bad either. Maybe not all DSM's would have an activation, but I like that they are more than just regular armor with a resist.

That's part of the difficulty : one person's history is another person's anachronism.

But yes, I'd remove Angels (I was against their inclusion at the time, especially as Azriel then proceeded to kill me).

I say DSM should keep a breathe though for their uniquely Angband feel. Like you say its a really nice utility aoe.

Dragon scale armour should aggravate (or haste) dragons.

Dragon scale armour should aggravate (or haste) dragons.

I like this idea, makes sense

Dragon Scale

Yeah, adding more to the dragon scale armour would do the job
