Barren Realms MUD

If a piece of armor/equipment has no "damage rating" for example a wearable piece of treasure, can that piece take damage, and if so, does that make it more vulnerable to destruction?
The inspiration for this is flawless leather boots

Those items are what we call "indestructable" items.

what about wearable containers? These pieces also have no damage rating...

You can't damage a container anyway. You lose them when they get burned. I think it's a different way of destroying "container" items.

Only armor can take damage from strong hits. However, wearing containers, scrolls, pills, food, drink containers, potions, wands or staves makes you vulnerable to losing them, as well, to breath spells. The truly indestructable items, then, are furniture, trash, fly, scuba, fountains, lights, treasure, keys, money, quivers, projectiles and weapons. Of course, it's rare to find wearable versions of a lot of these.

Lights can be fried by a type of mob...I forget what type...Dis knows though!

Mobs running speco_grue

*edited for correctness, thanks eb*

spec_fido, is that what it's called? i know alicia's builder refers to them as "grue", but i haven't looked at the code to see for myself. i thought fido was different from grue though.

oh, and can money be fried by breath? i've never tested it, but it stands to reason that it could.

and disintigrate can fry anything i believe, even if it would normally be indestructible.

Disintegrate can't be cast, and only worked on mobs, which simply disappeared the whole mob (like bamf does now). spec_grue is the one dive was thinking of, not spec_fido (grue destroys lights, while fido eats corpses in the room). I haven't tested money, but I doubt you'd run into an occasion where you'd have the chance to test it, since objects of type money are converted directly to gold in your inventory when you pick them up.

When you pick them up they do. But you can have money items in your inv if you steal the money item from the mob or order it to give the item to you. How else would the guardian get laid so often?

How about that disintegrate from a staff? (Is it a staff or a weapon?) Can you get zapped by it?

Oh and yeah, yay for lAID! XD

Even when disintegrate was a castable spell, you couldn't cast it on other players, so I'd be greatly surprised if a disintegrate staff worked on them.
