I think that there should be some way to get immunity from xans !
Why can't you eat them and then quaff a potion of speed or something
for immunity ?? I think that would be a little more fair.

What I did for this was to implement boots (analagous to the way gloves allow you to carry dead cockatrices). By the way, I've also implemented: - maps (scroll of magic mapping merely creates a map) - wand of recharging (can use it to recharge other wands) - split wands into one of secret door detection and one of trap detection - wand of rearrangement (just calls mklev again) (this one doesn't work completely yet) - fixed various lossages in save/restore code I don't know what hack version we have, but if anyone's interested I'll be glad to discuss these changes. If there is enough interest, I may post them. -- der Mouse {ihnp4,decvax,akgua,etc}!utcsri!mcgill-vision!mouse philabs!micomvax!musocs!mcgill-vision!mouse Hacker: One responsible for destroying / Wizard: One responsible for recovering it afterward
