Lurker + items == untouchable lurker?

[PowerWyrm]

TomeNET has an amusing item that can be generated during Halloween and Xmas weeks: the costume of (monster). You equip it instead of your current armor and you can disguise yourself as the corresponding monster. So you can mimic Morgoth if you want. I had the chance of finding a costume of Santa Claus (TomeNET is based off ZAngband), so I equip that during Xmas and wander around in town shouting "Ho Ho Ho!"
