I'm adding support for items you wear to bestow effects. Put on a ring, suddenly you can breathe water. Woot!

To put this in, I want to reduce the number of rings you can wear to 2. No way I'm letting someone get 8 effects from 8 rings. How much do rings currently contribute to your armor? If the answer is only a little, then I won't care about doing-away with the rings-as-armor concept. If the answer is a lot, then I'll have to take another approach (example: if you're wearing one of these new rings, you're only allowed to wear 1 other ring).

This code just entered the testing phase, so it's still a ways off yet.

I like the idea of rings that give effects, but can you still make it so we can wear 8 rings in all? But only 2 that grant effect. I don't know how much ROPs help armor but I do know the armor value of other rings.

Alanthium Corbite Ring: 13
Mithril Ring of Protection (+3): 17
Mithril Ring of Protection (+4): 22
Mithril Ring of Protection (+5): 26
Primevil Ring of Chaos (+4): 35
Efnor's Ancient Ring (+4): 40

Now granted with the exception of the corbite rings, those rings are lore, and pretty difficult to get, but with a set of those 5 lore rings, and 3 ala corbites, that would give you an armor of 179 from just rings alone.

gold emblem ring = 8
blacksand signet ring = 8
astral driftmetal = 8
Trinidad ring = 8
ring of protection = 8

seems like most rings are 8 but the lore rings. but i still think rings are helpful to armor. specially if you got the huk set up. his idea though of being only allowed to wear two of the new rings at a time would work out.

Earth..Wind..Water..Fire..Heart---->animate Ancient Dracolich Planet Captain

might be able to easily code a command like prep. i.e. have the player choose which rings he wants in effect

choose effectring 1
choose effect ring 2


just a basic example.

Wax the 8 rings, and turn it into:
2 wrist
2 shoulder
4 generic rings spots (only 2 give effects still..maybe 3, if not 2 on ears or finger):
- earring
- nose/lip/eye/tongue/or whatever
- finger

And rings of any kind should not change AC unless it's magically granted...i.e. ring of protection

doesn't seem like the spell itself does anything for armor...unless it's hidden.

it improves in the skills list

The clan bonus should display as 10, not as 1. I'll fix the output. You're still getting the right boost behind the scenes, so there's no need to worry.
