Thus, a +1 ring of increase damage may look like a dart if you check its "weapon type", and if its plus to hit or plus to damage were modified by reading the scroll, they're possibly in a part of the union that isn't used for rings. /* whew */ (Note that occcasionally the tag IS checked -- for example when you eat, quaff, read, Wear, or Put on.) exit(0); Phil Kos "Argyle the Plaid" decvax!pur-ee!uiucdcs!kos
