I currently have 1x see Invisible, so invisible monsters kind of flit in and out.
But I have noticed that using SHIFT-5 to centre the screen seems to re-evaluate whether I can see them or not. So combining L and SHIFT-5 (so no actual action) you can keep forcing redraws and eventually see the sneaky so&sos that you know are there.

Thanks, this look like a bug. (What keys like Shift+5 do is entirely dependent on keyboard layout, but I presume you're using it to trigger Recenter Viewport; and I can reproduce the issue using ^V.)

Playing an Igor. Just got
"Hands of Nar the Dwarf (+2)"
What is the bonus for? Other body parts usually say which stat its for.
Is it the same as when you find gloves (+1) (I don't know what that +1 is for either - had assumed martial arts)

That sounds like a to-dam bonus, it would say (+2,+0) if it were to-hit.

Double magic on the red mage is behaving in odd ways when using the repeat command. Sometimes it'll repeat both, sometimes it only repeats the first. Also seems to ignore the book inscriptions.

First Morgul I have come across since initially posting, used absorbed ID spell to initially ID all items, then ring ID power *ID*'d the morgul. Level 50 ring.

Came cross first morgul since initial post. First ID'd all items, saw a morgul and ring ID power *ID*'d it. Lvl 50 ring.

So what happens when Igors use the Head of Vecna?

But no other race/class can dismember corpses.

The king of Amber dropped more useful stuff than I've seen in a long time. Foremost of these, his crown and three shiny rings of power. A bit strange though, only Nenya got his name in the inscription, all others and the crown just got the "level guardian"

a) The Ring of Power (Narya) (+1) {SpStInWiDxCnCh;*Fi;FaSiSdRgXsWm|F(StDx 
      A:Fire Ball}
    Dropped by the level guardian on level 99 of Angband.
    Identified: Day 47, 20:15, at CL 50.

 b) The Ring of Power (Nenya) (+2) {SpStInWiDxCnCh;*Co;FaSiHlSdRgLvXsWm|Co(InWi 
      A:Frost Ball}
    Dropped by Oberon, King of Amber on level 99 of Angband.
    Identified: Day 47, 20:14, at CL 50.

 c) The Ring of Power (Vilya) (+3) 
      {SpStInWiDxCnCh;*El;FaSiHlSdRgLvXsWm|E(StInWiDx A:Lightning Ball}
    Dropped by the level guardian on level 99 of Angband.
    Identified: Day 47, 20:15, at CL 50.

That's an absurd drop! Though increased item drops in instant-coffee, and increased likelihood of rings from tailoring rewards for a dragon, do make the odds much better than they'd normally be.

The items marked as "dropped by level guardian" were your quest rewards for completing the Oberon quest; while the items marked as "dropped by Oberon, King of Amber" were just normal monster drops.

The total result after looting was a huge upgrade to my melee which was far from end game class and 10 more base speed with similar resist except 3 immunities vs 1-2 pip of res
