rFear (should really be pFear) is protection from the Afraid status ailment. Fear is permanent terror, as gotten from wearing a Ring of Escaping, and overrides rFear.

Using identical names is unlucky. Maybe leave pFear as is and call the other effect/status 'Panic' (Terror has six chars and therefore one too much).

It is also important on home based (unixlike) installs. There you only have one save file for all characters. So it is the only way to change your characters name.

I like this idea. Not least because the fact that Fear and ESP are too short compared to all the other five letter names really bugs me.

Eventually, yes - but there's still a very widely-held vocabulary about game length which uses game turns - "a sub-1M turn win", "500k turns" etc. Game turns have been unchanged since the game was created - Standard Turns are a much newer concept, designed to assist with competitive play. So I think they both need to stay in for the moment. (Ironically neither is actually the number of turns a player takes during the game, and it's quite difficult to explain why not, but it's all to do with +speed items.)

Many thanks for doing this so quickly - it's excellent. I'll make sure it gets into the first 3.4 dev version.
