Item Craftsmanship, Not all smiths are equally skilled. Options

[dragon_lord]

All craftsman/blacksmiths are not equally skilled in the art of forging weapons and armour. And so throughout the land varying qualities of equipment can be found:

-Normal items will have 3 levels of quality: Poor, Average and High.
Poor: THAC0 Penalty and damage penalty(in regards to average quality), a chance of breaking.
Average: Normal
High: THAC0 Bonus and speed bonus. No damage bonuses. Those are for magical
items

- High quality normal items can be upgraded through gems.
- 4 different gem types - the elements fire/poison etc
- There can only be one gem per item (stops it from getting too complicated).

Magic items of course can still have things added to them just like in bg2.

Corrections, the script for the item upgrade is done. I'm about to upload it into the workroom.

Also, the bows for the weapon upgrades are almost done. I'd say about 3 quarters of the way done.

And about Sim's comment about making weapons via serated blades and stuff like that, I like that idea. Though, I'm not quite sure how this would be any different then just adding +1 or whatever Slashing or Piercing or whatever damage.
