Are you sure you want to wield this scroll?


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Are you sure you want to wield this scroll?

FR: Ask if you are sure you want to wield a scroll or potion or other "useless" item, instead of asking if you want to attack with them.

EDIT: the reason is that I think the warning is given in the wrong place. It's too easy to wield the wrong item and waste auts that way, so the question should fall there, instead of when you already have wasted the auts.

I tried proposing this and nothing happened. May you fare better than I.

Re: Are you sure you want to wield this scroll?

The suggestion seems pretty unlikely to be controversial, so I assume the only reason it might not be implemented is the fact that somebody actually has to physically code a patch to implement it. Maybe it'll catch the eye of a member of the devteam this time, or if you know how you could probably make a patch yourself and it would get pushed.

Might be even better just to disable the wielding of non-weapon items completely, though, rather than leaving in a possible action that is always useless.
