Long Description	Vlad: * is now Speed 24 instead of 18 * ignores Elbereth, scare monster etc. * is now 28HD instead of 14 * AC -6 instead of AC -3 * has a mesmerising gaze - saving throw at -4 vs WIS or be frozen for d5 turns. Free action does not help in this situation, but should you be able to cancel Vlad (heh! Key word - "should"), he will lose this attack. In monster vs monster combat, all Vlad's opponents who can see Vlad and are gazed upon by him will succumb to this attack, with the exception of mindless monsters and covetous monsters (Quest nemises, Wizard of Yendor, major demons) - This is a known limitation, but I cannot see any satisfactory solution to monster vs monster attacks like this. Vlad's: * weapon attack does 2d10 damage instead of 1d10 * bite attack does 1d12 damage instead of 1d10 * drain life attack ignores magic cancellation This patch also contains code (which is #defined out by default) to provide for a new attack type AD_PLYM(damn, damd) which more accurately represents a mental paralysis/mesmerism attack. For attacks on the player, it ignores free action, since it is a mental attack, not physical but additionally allows for a WIS saving throw, modified by the damn attribute of the attack, and if this is failed, it causes paralysis for d(damd+1) turns. The passive attack of the floating eye has been switched over to this new attack type. A reminder that this part is commented out by default: To enable it, simply uncomment the #define MENTALPLYS line in config.h before compiling.	Max. 65500 chars
You will need to answer the following question correctly: What symbol represents a floating eye?
