Proposal: Dithmenos' player death message

If the player is a source of fire, Dithmenos should appreciate it when the player dies.

The gods don't really seem to care about the player unless the player brought themselves to the god's attention through worship. The good gods don't speak up when Demonspawn or Vampires die, for instance, so it seems weird for other gods to make the effort.

You can't worship a good god as a Vampire or Demonspawn. This is assuming that the OP meant for the source-of-fire Player to also be a worshiper of Dithmenos by the time of his death, which would make sense for the death message.

nicolae's point also applies to spellcasters + Trog, necromancers + good gods/possibly Fedhas, transmuters + Zin, anyone who has attacked an ally + Okawaru, etc, they're not specific to undead and demonspawn.

It seems unlikely that a pious Dithmenite would be a source of fire at all, unless you were hauling around wands of flame just to accessorize.

Maybe OP meant a player that was burning to death due to sticky flame!

You can still memorize fire spells.

My current trunk character has the fire breath mutation - gained right before joining Dith... thanks to yellow glow caused by carelessly evoking invisibility one time too much.
