[net.games.rogue] Wielding a ring?

toml@oliveb.UUCP (Dave Long) (06/10/84)

    In one of my last games, I did something really stupid:  I wielded a
ring, and then it wouldn't let me wield something else.  However, I hit
every single time, and must have done a lot of damage.  I eventually got
knocked off when I didn't bother to notice I had only 10 HP left.
    But what happened?  Did Rogue (5.2) confuse the ring with some +2,+2
weapon?  Is this just a once-in-a-polka-dotted-moon occurence?  Is there
actually some bug that allows one to wield rings as weapons?
