[CF-Devel] Status of gods project?

[Peter Mardahl]

Despite your update on the topic, DB, I'm still not too clear
on the status of the Gods patch.

Subproject              Who             Status
1)  Spells              PeterM          95% done, requires final tuning,
                                        conflict spell, blinding cone

2)  coding to hand out 
    items and spells    ??              ??
    in a god-specific 
    manner

3)  set up to hand out  ??              ??
    items and spells
    (i.e., arches)

4)  Descriptions in     dnh             (just accepted)
    temples
    
So we could be anywhere from 1/2 done to ready to initiate and
start polishing the new system.

Where are we?
