 A few more notes for it:

 1) When you eat food, you will gain back some hitpoints.  Thus, it can
be useful to go into combat hungry (food <200), so after you get damaged
you can eat some food and effectively have a poor mans healing potion.

 2) At current time, all items take the same amount of time to equip/unequip
(which is very fast).  So there are certainly times where it is worthwhile
to swap equipment in combat.

 3) Bows/arrows are great at killing acid spheres.

 And a correction on items:

 1) Monsters tend to get created with the same general item types
(orcs gets bow, swords, the like) - you won't find rings on orcs.).
However, the quality (magic level) of the treasure is determined by the
overall map level.  Thus, if the maps are high difficulty, those orcs
will be more likely to have magic items than low difficulty maps
(difficult can currently be found out using the 'maps command).

 Note that mentioning the 'maps command can be a good way to find out
where other players are.
