Problem with this is the item can't also be armor (however and can apply a armor bonus) 2) This is a more drastic change and I don't encourage it to be taken lightly, but I added extra bitvector for almost every bitvector in char_data (and in obj_data for that matter) This required a player file wipe but I would have lost of room for expanision. So while I was clearing the player file I also added obj_affect bitvectors to match my player affect_bitvectors. I then had to add these bitvectors to the obj file format. Once item is equipped it checked if it had any obj_affects and affected the player. this is the real short and sweet of how to attempt something like that. I can look in my new and old code for specific examples if you like.
