The incarnation of Tyr on my computer doesn't have that embarrassment of riches.

E for funnEE comic.

But amulets are not restricted to one per space like monsters. Maybe the problem should be that Tyr's knapsack is full?

Maybe Tyr is just bored and decided to play with his jewelry and see if he spread them out on the floor whether they would cover the whole surface of the room.

There is a limit of 32,767 or so objects per square. Maybe Tyr has the room filled with that many amulets (and I guess a wand of godliness?) on the floor including underfoot, AND Tyr's knapsack is full.

...

Is Tyr a god or goddess?

32767? Is it a signed integer? If so, why?

#6 DarthCliche Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:19:17
#5: I don't know why, but it is.+

#5: it's the highest 16-bit integer. 16-bit integers range from -32768 to 32767.

#8 Minoru Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:31:44
#7: it's the highest signed 16-bit integer. The question is, why is it signed? You won't ever have -2 or -32 767 objects in one square, would you?

#9 ThePathfinder Wed, 3 Jun 2015 11:12:18
In fact the greatest number is -1.
Sometimes,it means positive infinity.

Good, and I get the allowable integer argument for any other type of character, but why would a deity be coded to have a finite inventory at all? Shouldn't a deity have infinite hammerspace??
