POWDER 089 Released

[Urza]

  * From external testing, reworked tutorial to make it a bit more friendly.
  * Dig no longer has force bolt as prereq, mana cost reduced to 10.
  * Spell book of utility broken into book of force and book of earth.
  * You see a scroll of READ ME now properly has the "a".
  * Character dump has skill and spell list. (R. Dan Henry)
  * x, +, * sources used in chararcter dump to show source of intrinsics/spells.
  * Soul Suckers will no longer try to cast at people they can't sense.
  * Amnesia shows up in your intrinsic list and status line.
  * You can no longer cast spells when suffering from amnesia.
  * New mob, gold beetles.
  * When a creature made of X attacks without a weapon in melee a creature vulnerable to X, extra damage is properly applied.
  * Tamed creatures will not continue to attack newly tamed creatures. (hotpoo)
  * Items of poison resistance can no longer be poisoned by dipping in a poison potion, you now get Nothing Happens.
  * Creatures that random poly will not random poly into themselves. Specifically, this prevents chameleons from being polyed as chameleons. (Clare Boothby)
  * I think the holes to bypass Belweir's test have been plugged...
  * I knew I'd scream when I hit the 256th tile. I was thus surprised when it (the signpost) worked so well. Needless to say the Soul Sucker showing up as a floor tile came as a surprise to me - I still had a bug with greater than 256 tile indices for items and monsters!
  * Surprise now has two rs in three affected messages. (David Damerell)
  * Fix a display issue where plain robes would report 5 AC when no skills were known. This should have been 3 AC, thereby avoiding the apparent reduction to 4 AC when a skill was learned. The actual effect was correct, just the display, and just the display of items with base ac of 1.
  * The plural of Guide to Armour is no longer Guide to Armours but the correct Guides to Armour.
  * Tlosh no longer gets upset at Reclaim Soul being cast. While it can be considered a type of healing (so discouraged), the method of healing is sufficiently grisly that Tlosh approves.
  * The breathe command provides better results when one is strangled/submerged/breathless.
  * One new room.
