Sound damage reduction from full helmets makes sense if it's not 100%, but I'm not too happy with the ESP protection from tin headgear. It's a bit cliché for IVAN, giving that ability only to tin is rather nethackish, and looking at the PR I can't see any way for players to discover the feature in-game.

They should carry a barrel full of Valdemar on their back and make sound whenever they read anything, but as compensation they can manually copy scrolls. Also they have the masochist flag and attack themselves with a whip if they spend an hour without praying.

Yep. And ghosts are quite common in random polymorphing.

On the other hand, if you have that many polymorph charges you could probably get wands of fireballs/striking from polypiling.

If you're next to a floor tile you can just walk out. If you're stuck deeper in the wall, you'd better have a pickaxe or a means of teleporting, or you're not getting out.

Enner beasts are invisible to ESP! Make sure you've got plenty of healing liquid/troll blood to survive long enough. Got any wands of striking or lightning?

Or when standing next to a tame valpurium golem.

Underpowered? She's the only god more lawful than Sophos that I regularly pray to. Free taming is really useful for science talk.

That'd be cool too. Point is, right now plate mail is next to worthless and that needs to change.

Plate armour made from copper-path materials is next to worthless, but any bonuses to that would carry over to cloth-path materials, arcanite-path materials, and valpurium plate, which are really good options at various stages of the game.

Some weapons have (IIRC) a FormFactor atttibute, which scales their damage with their weight or flexibility. This makes GEF halberds and diamond whips do less damage. Perhaps something like that could be done to separate soft and hard armours - plate armours would get a bonus to AV from on weight, and maybe a penalty from flexibility. Soft armours would have opposite factors, and would probably be balanced to have lower AV even at endgame levels.

My one's dead too. Somehow both the main save and autosave broke. Maybe when the bug's fixed someone might have an idea of which bits need twiddling to rescue the save files.
