Yeah I know -- there are a lot of unbalanced maps in the standard
distribution. I'm not blaming Mark, either :-)

Well, it is just a suggestion. It's pretty trivial to add, though.
Would you guys prefer the random element?

YES! I have _never_ liked the enchant weapon scrolls. I didn't know
that there was no limit to them though -- taifu +35 is insane. Here's
one vote to _remove_ the prepare weapon and enchant weapon scrolls
entirely.  As far as I can remember, they were added to the game at
the same time as the Superpotions, another munchkin feature (since
removed?)

Be careful -- if you remove the very powerful custom weapons
(cf. taifu +35), the award may be reasonable.

I think it is great that balance is discussed -- it is very easy to
let it fall by the wayside (I hope that was idiomatic :-)
