Summary 0000532: Missing descriptions for Jiyva and Cheibriados' abilities
Description See https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2928063&group_id=143991&atid=757513, [^] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2909126&group_id=143991&atid=757513. [^]

Jiyva:

Three abilities from Jiyva - Request Jelly, Slimify, Cure Bad Mutation -
have no describe.
(at command 'a', '!', and each ability)

and

A prized avatar of Jiyva can get mutations from Jiyva.
(Message "Jiyva alters your body", and add some mutation)
But, No descriptions about this are there - both of Religion screen and
Jiyva's description screen.

------------------

Cheibriados:



Press ^ to show religion info as a follower of Cheibriados. Under "Granted
powers" there is no mention of the Make Ponderous ability.

Press a? to show ability descriptions. For Slouch it says "No description
found"

From the "Step From Time" description its purpose is not really clear -
that invoking this will make the player immune to attack for the duration,
and hopefully monsters will wander away. Seems weak for the final ability,
or am I missing something?

Viewing an artefact with +Rage, it says "Cheibriados disapproves of the use
of such an item." Not really true - there is no apparent penalty for
wearing it to get the benefit of other enchantments. There is a penalty for
evoking berserk rage - but no warning in the ability description or at the
time of attempted evocation.

There is also no warning of any kind for the Swiftness spell - memorization
or casting.

Recommend at least display the hazardous items in red on the ability,
memorization, and casting screens. Possibly add an "are you sure" prompt to
prevent accidents.

...

Also on the ^ religion screen it says "Cheibriados is slowing your
{biology}." But this is not mentioned on the A abilities info page or on
the % character info page. Does it mean metabolism, slow hunger...?

Don't know how much of the above still applies for Chei, but Jiyva definitely still doesn't have any ability descriptions, and the god description is also frightfully boring and meaningless.

C had descriptions already; I just added Shayne's J descriptions to master.

Closing therefore.
