Dith conduct re fire

[milo]

Just got put into penance with Dith for Tukima's Dancing a rod of destruction, sans warning. Is that cool?

Also, is a similar thing going to happen when I cast Dragon's Call?

IIRC Tukimas dancing was checking on flame weapons already, and yours sounds like a missed cornercase. Call of dragons should just supress firey breath dragons? No clue. Dithmenos god conduct is weird.

Certainly seems like a bug, put it in Mantis.

The code only mentions switching away from shadow dragons and golden dragons for good gods and TSO, respectively. This may catch fire dragons for dith, but I don't have wizmode on hand to test it.

  Code:

    // For good gods, switch away from shadow dragons (and, for TSO,
    // golden dragons, since they poison) to storm/iron dragons.
    if (player && player_will_anger_monster(mon)
        || (god == GOD_SHINING_ONE && mon == MONS_GOLDEN_DRAGON))
    {
        mon = random_choose(MONS_STORM_DRAGON, MONS_IRON_DRAGON);
    }

Reported the rod of destruction business.
(Penance took far less time than I was expecting to wear off, btw. No retribution at all.)

From the few times I've cast it so far this game, Dragon's Call under Dith does indeed seem to prevent fire or gold dragons from spawning. Happy days.
