[CF-Devel] major bug

[dnh]

Well the only other class that can't use weapons is the sorceror. And
melee scrolls don't affect race, so you don't have to worry about
fireborn (and beholder). Basically currently only monk has meditation, the
simple solution would be. If a player reads a scoll of melee weapons, and
they have meditation make sure meditation is removed or fail to learn the
scroll. This is assuming the scroll doesn't affect race (ie if a fireborn
monk read it, it would fail regardless of whether the player had
meditation).

       The biggest problem here is that while the monk should not be able to

       And being able to differentiate that (other than putting in a check

       Now if there is no other class that starts without melee weapons but

       I would guess this same bug may apply to all the class/race combinations

      that do not start with melee weapon skill.

       But I'm really not all that familar with race/class code.  So I
