Here's the current plan for items:
Normal Items
- Stackable
- Can't be equipped, only carried
- Single use
- Also used for random collectables and materials
Example: Healing Potion, Crossbow Bolt, Dragon Hide
Multi Use Items
- Not stackable
- Can't be equipped, only carried
- Technically the same as Normal Items, except rendered as single items
- Used for wands and things with more than a single use
Example: Wand of Healing [5], Hot Meal [2]
Equippables
- Not stackable
- Consists of an item type, a material, an optional prefix, and an optional suffix
- The item type decides what slot the item can be equipped in
- Materials range from normal ones (iron, wood, etc) to exotic ones that require hero
traits to use (glass, dragonscale, etc)
- Prefixes are single adjectives (Legendary, Blessed, Fine) and modify the item stats
- Suffixes are in the form "of <foo>", and add special abilities to the item.
Example: Iron Boots, Legendary Silver Necklace of Gloom, Decorated Wool Cape,
Copper Sword of Dragon Slaying

Ok, they're not as fancy as they will be, but at least the first version of the battle
replays are in place. Woop!

I can't really decide if the battlefields should be based on hexagons or straight tiles.
Hexagons have the advantage of feeling slightly more "serious", and allows for things
like area of effect spells and so without being TOO silly, but straight tiles is really more
traditional and might fit the feeling I want to achieve better.. Any suggestions?

Instead of using my own database for storing news and comments, I've changed it to use
JForum. Integrating it was surprisingly easy. =)
I can use all kinds of cool tags in here, I guess.
