Mint chocolate

What are you on, Leaf? Everyone knows that Mint anything is like eating tooth paste

Ick. Debian. Fedora Core is better. I've experimented with it twice.

Ick. Precompiled package based distros. Gentoo is better
Anyways I think that banishment is currently well tweaked. It's just the rods that need to be made less powerful/harder to get.
Perhaps it should also affect undead to a lesser degree than it does currently does, and players should be able to resist if better, but I think it's well balanced againt most NPCs/monsters

I think cavesomething's patch for the allowing to use a magic rod with the power of your level is adequate. It should be integrated into the compilation, or at least added as an option to configure.
like ./configure --rod-fix

Yeah, well it might be, if it actually worked....
There are certain 'issues' with that patch last time I tried to make it behave, basically if I budge the patch to where it probably should be, it segfaults a lot (entire server not just client), this I consider bad, so I haven't pushed for its inclusion.....
I /should/ get round to fixing that, and might do so at some point...

Well, thats why you make it an experimental option to add to configure.

Configure is completely the wrong place for that, the change occurs in the spell code, and has nothing to do with writing Makefiles. No, the proper place for this is in the settings file, or just on with a sane value (I like 5, due to the parallels with the attunement code).
What is the point of adding options if all it means is you are effectively running with
./configure --and-give-me-lots-of-segfaults?
