Just to be curious on the Rod of light, is it a beam of light or actualy a rod of Ilumination? I find those useful for warriors, also could request rods of recall to please

I meant illumination. Is the beam of light indispensable?

Would you rather have scrolls of recall or a dungeon-only rod of recall? Yer can't have both!!

The beam of light is very useful against snaga's cave orcs' jelly's eyes, anything that has the HURT_LIGHT flag. But I eventualy trash it.
The Rod of Illumination I like for warriors to be able to light up the rooms.

If it's the choice between the 2 I guess Scrolls of WOR is more useable, I have something against scrolls and books, hate them getting burned up, might be why I've started liking the warrior Caste

In Fay, I named these same stat pairs Vigor, Wit, and Grace. I like your names, too.

I agree that both the beam and the illumination are useful. Why not combine both? Activate, and it checks whether there are three continuous squares within one square of you. If so, Illuminate, if not, it asks for a target.

The plan is to move to just 3 stats, but I'm moving through an intermediate step of 'anything that affects one of the pair tends to affect the other'

Flavor wise those are fine. Gameplay wise maybe switching Con and Dex would make more sense.
As Con is probably the most versatile stat.

Post #5 - Jewelery and egos

Here is the list of jewelery and ego types. I'm reasonably pleased with these and don't anticipate them needing further pruning.

Also note that DSMs now become basetypes rather than egos as in NPP.

The theory is that the lighting bolt comes down on your head, you see, so a tin hat is useful. Or something like that.
