[CF-Devel] Monks wearing weapons

Wed Dec 22 07:59:40 CST 2004

How about when someone chooses to become a monk ( and has arms ), a "cursed" 
weapon is automatically equipped that cannot be "un-cursed" while the 
character is a monk?  ie... "monk fists".

      The issue is pretty simple: when becoming monk, code sees the classname is

      'monk' and clears the 'use_weapons' flag.

      Then, when praying over an altar, the code updates that flag with the

      For dragons, isn't an issue as they don't have arms in the first place and

      thus can't wear weapons. But other players can use weapons again.

      I see 2 ways to fix that:

      * use the 'body' [precisely arm counts] fields for the player to remove

      weapon use - ie change the player's body according to class, setting arms

      to 0 for monks.

      * inserting a force in player's inventory to keep track of that fact, or

      the class.

      Both hae drawbacks - 1st may be weird, and cause issues if we ever decide

      to let players change class.

      2nd may be expanded to something else (rings, girdles, ...) but requires a

      Note that you can't simply tweak the god change code, as when switching

      from Gaea to another god you wouldn't know whether the 'no weapon use'
