Two small things I want to underline:
- Andreas V. is right. Allowing such protection against Godpower will ruin 
fun since it means that you could become nearly immune to nearly any attack 
type. What could then those poor monsters do ? And I just can't see how you 
could justify a protection against the pure force of the gods in a RPG. So 
please, throw it away !

- I thought that Crossfire-0.98.0 was the last step before 1.0 release and 
that the only additions that would be integrated were bugfixes. Strangely, 
the Ring of Benevolence doesn't seem to be a bugfix at all... Does it mean 
that the Crossfire development team changed their projects and finally 
decided to accept new additions, or is it just the manifestation that only 
some people are allowed to make such additions ? If so, please send an 
official 'Authorized Developers List' so other coders will not loose time on 
Crossfire.
