Cloak of Shadows def bonus question

[Zath]

The 100% enhanced defense bonus for Ribcracker is described as ac% in UniqueItems.txt, and this is in turn translated to an item_armor_percent bonus in Properties.txt. While this may look exciting at first, keep in mind that all the enhanced defense bonuses on normal armor are described as ac% as well, and they obviously do not multiply your total defense. There must be some special coding in the game which handles ac% mods on items that don't normally have a defense value. How this defense bonus on the Ribcracker and other similar items are applied in game will therefore require more testing. I do not have access to any weapon or jewelry with an ac% bonus in game though, so someone else will have to test them, or possibly send me the respective v1.10s Atma files. I also remember nobbie or someone else writing a cube mod for the v1.10 beta, but I can't recall where it is or if it is compatible with v1.10s.
