In general I agree.

I think this is somewhat true, Angband is a special game, and might well attract strange folk... But I guess it's not quite enough to counter pav's statement...

While spelunking in the depths of Angband, I noticed the following: In the description of the Staff of the Magi, there is a lack of adequate spacing between the words mana and points. It looks like manapoints. Unless that is the correct spelling. But how is SP=manapoints? Isn't it spell points? Now I am curious if it is called mana points elsewhere.

Anyway, I hope this is the right place to place this piece of peaceful pizza. Did I say peaceful pizza? I meant information.

Manapoints and spellpoints are usual ways to write those things. It is a name of the concept.
Point of mana is one manapoint. How much mana, or how many manapoints.

Spellpoint I think is a bit less clear naming because "point of spell" doesn't really make any sense. Neither does spell point, unless there is some point of space/time to make/cast/use a spell.

It's not points of spell, it's points used to cast spells. But yeah, the naming could be more consistent...

Ok, are we supposed to report bugs here or is this supposed to be informing us where to report bugs? As it is I'm just going to mention it in that long thread I started.

Don't report them in this thread, and deep in the middle of long threads isn't the best idea either. If it's a new bug, best start a new thread.

Do we have a sticky on that bug report? Yet!

New preferred method of reporting bugs is to create a new issue here.

Here are step-by-step instructions for reporting a bug. Depending on the nature of the bug, it may be worth some preliminary enquiries to see whether it is actually a bug or simply a wonderful, surprising piece of game design.

Go to the issues page on Github.
Click the green "New Issue" button near the top right.
Give a short descriptive title to your bug; if it's not a report for the current official release, please include what version it it in your title.
In the "Write" pane below the title, give sufficient details to fully describe the problem; this can include links.
Add any relevant files (a savefile is sometimes helpful).
Click "Labels" on the right and add a type label from the list (they start with "T:") - usually you will want T: bug.
Click "Milestone" on the right and choose the "Triage" milestone.
Click the green "Submit new issue" button at the bottom and you are done.

Here's the deal. I started a new game from a previous character so I have Aragorn II, duedain warrior. But I didn't keep the stats from the original character because I wanted to change some things. The original had a starting CON of 17, giving him a hit die of 20. The new char had a CON of 15 giving him a hit die of 19. I started with 19 hp as expected but when I progressed to character level 2 I jumped to 39 hp, an increase of 20. I like the bug, but it is a bug nevertheless.

Not a bug. HP are alotted to CON in 1/10 HP increments. You are seeing two 1/2 HP increments adding up to 1.
