Items lacking Display string effects

[Wisp]

The Stiletto of Demarchess +2 has a chance of inflicting Hold upon the target and Darts of Stunning has a chance of stunning the target. Neither have any Display string effects.

 

Working under the assumption that this is something you would want to have in the Fixpack, I took the time to write a simple fix. The code assumes that the items are in vanilla shape and would probably mess them up if they are not. Additionally, both items are treated at the same time. If any of this needs to be changed, I can rewrite it (or you can simply disregard me and modify it yourselves or write your own fix, whichever you prefer).

 

If someone affiliated with the Fixpack would prefer it if I merely stuck to reporting bugs and left the coding to someone who knows what (s)he is doing, they have but to say so.

 

(The code could be condensed more, but I think it looks better this way.)
