I'm not to sure, but I, note that I, think that a "strange sence of loss", at least on SuperRogue, is one of the "detect" scrolls. Either that, or "hold monster" as suggested. To those playing "old" versions and wish for super armor: For your sake, the chances of finding plate mail is 1 in 100. The chance of finding armor is 1 in 12 (close). Therefore, there is only a 1 in 1200 chance of finding plate mail (discouraging). Also, leather is 1 in 20, making it have a chance of being found 1 in 240. The chances for super-items are LOW. For example, genocide has about a 1 in 250 chance of being found. Others, such as two-handed swords and scare monster scrolls are very low. Please note, though, that scare monster scrolls will NORMALLY come in groups of 2-5, although 1 is possible. Hope this is new stuff, I've been here neting since December! ___ Gandalf "I can't kill monsters - it's against my religion."
