They emigrated to China for the greater business opportunities. A skilled dwarf can make a tidy tax-free pile there.

  Code:
The +27, +12 hammer of Bahn {freeze, Dam+9, *Rage, rPois, rF+}

This hammer was forged by a man who wanted to cleanse the world from the creatures who, as he thought, did not deserve to exist,
and to do so by all means possible. However, he did not know that his mind was not clear enough to use such a weapon wisely
and ended his life in dreadful agony, his life fluids drained by his own desperate rage.
Be wiser than him and do not repeat his mistakes.

This weapon has a chance to banish the creature it hits, and can be safely unwielded.
This weapon can make you pursue the victim relentlessly, paying no attention to anything else (*Mesm).

Maybe they could make "amulet of stasis" appear in magenta on the inventory screen? After all, magenta means dangerous and you don't get all that much more dangerous than something that blocks all your escapes.

The problem is that friendly arm-wrestling matches quickly turn into unfriendly arm-wrestling matches and people in unfriendly arm-wrestling matches tend to use items which give them a advantage such as clubs, daggers, sabres, etc.

How about a Gentleman class? You get to wear a monocle (acute eyesight) as a mutation, and you must always hold your trident in your left hand and your sabre in your right!
No poison, of course.
