I wouldn't say "accurately hit the weapon". It would be more like getting it in the way of the weapon, and given the size of most shields, accuracy is generally not a problem. Although there are points on the shield where the block would be more effective.

I guess I could help. I can make graphics for it and provide a range of sound effects too. I have a decent knowledge of scripting too, but not so much with the source code. That stuff hurts my head.
Jeez this feels like a job interview.

You might consider converting the ancient IVAN website into a huge signpost pointing viewers towards these forums. God knows who has the power to do that now.

Oh, and if the name of this website was www.Itervehemensadnecem.com it would likely be the first result on a google search for "Iter Vehemens ad Necem".

And what about rust too? Would hasting/slowing a, for example, iron two-handed sword covered in acidous dark frog blood speed up/slow down the rust process? Or even remove the covering liquid faster/slower?

Why use SoCM's? Because you have power over what the object turns into, thats why. For all you know, a prayer to a god could turn your phoenix feather arm into either something less useful (like Iron or Steel), or something HORRIFICALLY BAD (mushroom flesh, from personal experience).

It's times like these that you wish there was a "Wand of Species Frag".
...that's a good idea for AtomicIVAN

Wands of striking to tear through them all?

I like the way shopkeepers scream at you when you try to sell them an active HHG.

Anyways, I think it's coded into the game that an active HHG is automatically deemed yours (thus why a mirrored, pissed clone's grenade gets people angry at you), because you are the only entity capable of activating it in the first place. Maybe whoever coded it was just being sloppy.

I noticed wearing a pair of broken ommel hair boots makes AGI go up at an alarming rate. The pair I was using when I stumbled upon this had -1 enchantment, if that makes a difference.

You never can tell with Comrade...
