My armor used to give rPoison, at least a monster that recall said hit to poison didn't, but I just got poisoned, used *ID on it, and it now has SUSTAIN WISDOM. What an annoying bug. Save/resart didn't fix it. Does that mean all elvenkinds will be hosed for this game? This guy already survived ?curse_weapon at about dLevel 12. I wonder what is the next step in this progression.

Bummer. The first armor I found that was better than good was Rohirrim (floor, Lvl34), so I never wore (or even bothered to *ID*) any elvenkind kit, so I can't comment on how pervasive this bug is. If I recall correctly, I never used *ID* at all the whole game. The only bug I recall (apart from the haste spell not working) was the game crashing when I attempted to examine the sling "Snowball" - at least I think thats what happened. Fortunately, I had saved a few turns earlier.

Stepped into an "empty" room, and died to innumerable hits from furies. Perhaps I would have survived if I had the rPoison the bug stole from my armor. I suppose I should have cast dEvil, but I just can't adjust to this version of stealthy monsters.

Are you sure it wasn't something else that was giving you poison resistance? As far as I can tell, the bug makes it chose from the wrong set of flags, so the elvenkind armor would not have had Rpois in the first place. Anyway, I hope you'll give the next version a try after I've got monster stealth much inproved (and fixed that bug I was talking about).

I only know that something with monster recall that said hit to poison did not poison me, and the only likely option was the elvenkind. I think I eliminated all other possibilities with pseudo later, but cannot be 100% positive.

I didn't find another elvenkind, so I do not know whether it is an elvenkind bug, or whether somehow the object got overwritten so that the xtra type got changed. I double-checked, and it was a 2 in ego_item.txt. I don't even remember whether that is determined in the game from e_info or from the object directly.

The problem with monster stealth is that V starts with monsters having infinite stealth and ESP, and you are just making it worse. If you want to mess with stealth, and you want people to want to play your variant, you should be making monsters *less* stealthy [I should hear a pack of hounds from 1000' away through unobstructed corridors] and not have ESP. You are taking a bad situation and making it worse.

I really wanted to like your game, but the overall impression I have is the same as playing V at 2500' without SI, and it just isn't fun. If you lessen things, it will be like no SI in V at 2000', still too aggravating for 90% of players. One thing you could try is to make +alert much much more common. IMO you should, at a minimum, make all items that give +search give +alert as well [i.e. combine them]. Then you are forcing the char to lose a valuable ring slot just to stay alive, which I think is too harsh, but it might just barely be playable. Currently, the game is only playable if you get ESP early. I don't see how a moderate change that keeps monster stealth could fix that.
