[Ever hear about the first guy who invented armor?  Ask Cerebus.]

Two new pieces of armor that I'd like to see added to the game are: a pair
of boots and a hooded cloak.  It's hard for me to believe that while I'm
walking around in my plate mail my legs are exposed enough to let those
pernicious little xans prick them, but they *do* manage it, so it seems
like boots would be a reasonable addition. They could be hard to find,
but I think they should be available.  A hooded cloak would be a nice way
of protecting my helmet from Rust monsters.  It could also be uncommon and
also seems like a reasonable addition.

Oh, hack originator, are you listening?  When's a new version due out,
anyway?

P.S. While you're at it, you might want to think about beefing up the ending
of the game -- after all that work, there should be a better payoff than
just simply totalling my gold, gems, and points...I'm not sure what, but it
seems like there ought to be *something*.

One thing that seems missing from the original DnD ( on which hack is loosly
based ) is riddles...you would probably need a lot to prevent people
remembering the answer from a previous game.

I have found a most wonderful proof for P <> NP but net etiquette on the
size of .signature files doesn't allow me to give it here.....

	"A hooded cloak would be a nice way of protecting my helmet
	from Rust monsters."

To protect your helmet from rust monsters: take off all armor except
the helmet; quaff a potion of confusion; read a scroll of enchant
armor.  Your helmet will glow silver, and will thereafter be rustproof,
unaffected by rust monsters or acid blobs.

The same trick works with other armor, and the analog works with
weapons and a scroll of enchant weapon.  This is useful if you're the
sort of oaf who wanders into acid blobs without looking and don't like
seeing your crysknife corrode.
