Bonus: (+1, +2 vs Lycanthropes, etc)
Special Abilities: (50% chance of killing DV, etc)

That way there'd be no ambivalence. We'd know everything about it and no guesswork on where or when we could use it. And you could just cut and paste from a master list into our PMs. (which you already probably do). This would just clear up any weird or uncertain occurrences.




Good idea, bad execution. I just counted for fun and there are 54 weapons and armor of the special type. Then all of the Misc Items, pots, scrolls, mage scrolls, wands, and rings. That's waaaaayyy to many to spend that much time on, you know?
