# item_power_factor is the relation of how the players equipped item_power
# total relates to there overall level.  If 1.0, then sum of the characters
# equipped item's item_power can not be greater than their overall level.
# if 2.0, then that sum can not exceed twice the character overall level.
# by setting this to a high enough value, you can effectively disable
# the item_power code.

item_power_factor 1.25

# Makes death non permanent.  If enabled and you die, you lose a bunch of
# exp, a random stat, and go back to starting town.
# If not defined, if you die, you are dead.  If an a multiplayer server,
# resurrection may be possible
#
# This option changes the game significantly one way or the other - it makes
# adventuring right at the edge of death something more reasonable to do
# (death still hurts here).  On the other hand, it certainly makes the
# game a bit safer and easier.
# not_permadeth true

# define resurrection if you want to let players bring other players
# back to life via some spells.  If resurrection is undefined, then a
# death is permanent.  NOTE: resurrection (either defined or undefined)
# has no meaning if not_permadeth is true.

resurrection false

# set the following if you wish to allow players to set their title
# and to save it on the disk.  There really isn't much reason not
# allow players to set this.

set_title true


# Enables the 'search-item command; a method to find equipment
# in shops.  Like set_title, probably no reason to ever disable this.

search_items true

# SPELL_ENCUMBRANCE -- If you're carrying a weapon or wearing heavy armour,
# you have a chance of fumbling your spellcasting with this on.  More
# armors/weapons, higher chance of failure.  If this is false, then
# you can basically always cast a spell, no matter what you are wearing.

spell_encumbrance true

# spell_failure_effects only has meaning if spell_encumbrance is true.
# What it does, is that when the player fails a spell, various effects
# will happen (player is paralyzed, confused, wonder spell is cast, etc.)
# I disabled it because I think it would make life much too hazardous
# for low level casters.  They either need to wear light armor (which
# means that they will get pounded on by monsters), or will get
# confused/paralyzed/other effects often.  High level casters would
# be mostly unaffected, since they would be casting spells that are
# below their level.
# Note-  it seems that you still get some failure effects even with this
# not defined - most notably when reading scrolls and fail to read
# them properly.
#

spell_failure_effects false

# spellpoint_level_depend  --  Causes the spellpoint cost
# of spells to vary with their power.  Spells that become very
# powerful at high level cost more.  The damage/time of
# characters increases though.

spellpoint_level_depend true

# Set this to false if you don't want characters to loose a random stat when
# they die - instead, they just get depleted.
# Setting it to true keeps the old behaviour.  This can be
# changed at run time via -stat_loss_on_death or +stat_loss_on_death.

stat_loss_on_death false

# This makes repeated stat loss at lower levels more merciful. Basically,
# the more stats you have lost, the less likely that
# you will lose more. Additionally, lower level characters are shown
# a lot more mercy (there are caps on how much of a stat you can lose too).
# On the nasty side, if you are higher level, you can lose multiple stats
# _at_once_ and are shown less mercy when you die. But when you're higher
# level, it is much easier to buy back your stats with potions.
# Turn this on if you want death-based stat loss to be more merciful
# at low levels and more cruel at high levels.
# Only works when stats are depleted rather than lost. This option has
# no effect if you are using genuine stat loss.

balanced_stat_loss false

# This defines how much of a player's experience should be 'permanent' and
# not able to be lost on death. A high value makes multiple frequent deaths
# less devastating, and also ensures that any character will make some 
# gradual progress even if they die all of the time. This value is the minimum
# amount of a player's exp that can ever be 'permanent' so setting this to 0
# would allow all exp to be lost, and setting it to 100 would stop exp loss
# entirely (the same effect would be achieved by setting the two 
# death_penalty settings below to 0).

permanent_experience_percentage 25

# When a player dies, they lose a proportion of their experience, which is 
# defined by the following two values. They will lose either 
# death_penalty_percentage% of their experience, or no more than 
# death_penalty_levels levels, or half of their non-permenent experience, 
# whichever is the least of these. Note that this is calculated per-skill,
# so which method is used could vary for different skills.

death_penalty_percentage 20
death_penalty_levels 3

# This is the penalty to luck that is given to a player who kills another
# player (PK's). The value here is deducted from their luck value, so set this
# high to discourage PK-ing and zero (or negative) to encourage it.
# Range is limited to -100 to 100, since this is the value range that the luck 
# stat can be within. 

pk_luck_penalty 1

# This allows reduced damage against other players when in 
# peaceful mode.  The value is the percent of damage done
# compared to normal.  This does not change damage done
# by not targeted things like walls, explosions, cone spells, disease, poison...

set_friendly_fire 5

# This deals with armor enchantment.
#
# armor_max_enchant: maximum enchantments an armor will take.
# default: 5
#
# armor_weight_reduction (in percent) and armor_weight_linear control how weight is reduced:
#  * when armor_weight_linear is TRUE, armor weight is
#   'base weight - armor enchantment * armor_weight_reduction'
#  * when armor_weight_linear is FALSE, armor weight is reduced by armor_weight_reduction %
#   per enchantment.
#
#   example:
#    * with 10 and TRUE, if armor base weight is 100, it'll become:
#      100 -> 90 -> 80 -> 70 -> 60 -> ...
#    * with 10 and FALSE, it'll be:
#      100 -> 90 -> 81 -> 73 -> 66 -> ...
#
# Note that the code will enforce a minimum weight of 1, else players can't pick up armor.
#
# default values: 10 and TRUE.
#
# armor_speed_improvement and armor_speed_linear do the same for speed increase.
# default values: 10 and TRUE

#armor_max_enchant       5
#armor_weight_reduction  10
#armor_weight_linear     TRUE
#armor_speed_improvement 10
#armor_speed_linear      TRUE
