Description
SBFband replaces the Zelazny-themed material of Zangband
with material drawn from the works of David Eddings (the Belgariad,
the Malloreon, etc.) and the anime Record of Lodoss War. It also has
some classes improve in stealth with experience, makes the character
buy their house(s), and adds new races, artifacts, and ego-items.
NOTE: I am currently looking for quests, towns, vaults, and interesting rooms
to add to the next version of SBFband. Send them to
Sperlock74@yahoo.com. I'll look at
them and will choose some (maybe all!) of them to put into the next version
(after minor balancing and other tweaks, if necessary). Credit will be given!
Reported but unfixed bugs
An '&' object has appeared as '(nothing)' (from flavor.c, object_desc
function) and is probably related to 'The Unknown Artifact' (from
cmd4.c, do_cmd_knowledge_artifacts function) bug that has been
reported. This relates to the artifact 'the Amulet of Beldaran.'
