devSin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I don't use the Game Text Update and at least a few of those items do say that they are not enchanted. In cases like that, I say that the description takes priority.@17534 = ~These arrows were enhanced through magical means when they were created. They appear slightly straighter than the average arrow, almost alive as they effortlessly leave your bow and streak towards their target with deadly accuracy. STATISTICS: Damage: 1D6 THACO: +2 Damage type: missile (piercing) Weight: 0 Launcher: Bow Not usable by: Cleric Druid Mage~ @17535 = ~This arrow is twisted and black, almost radiating evil as if possessed by something larger than itself.

devSin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Those are the default description strings for US English ToB. Link to comment
Drew Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 This answers our question pretty nicely. It looks like nothing but bolts, arrows, and darts of biting will need changes. We merely need to revert the descriptions back to the originals. Link to comment
