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

Split scroll/potion usage in morgue

It does not make much sense to see number of scrolls/potions used in morgue unless they are zero IMHO. Character used 10 scrolls between level 15 and 18. How many of them were teleportations? Acquirement? Enchant weapon?
I mean it could be much more useful to see specific scrolls/potions used, also it could allow to teach new players easier: were scrolls of enchant armour/weapon used too late, how many teleportation scrolls have been used, how many potions of heal wounds have been used, how many scrolls of blinking have been used etc.

Re: Split scroll/potion usage in morgue

This is pretty doable but there's some fiddliness involved compared to the existing implementation for other items, I put off working on it a while ago but might get back to it sometime. Patches welcome in the meantime!

Re: Split scroll/potion usage in morgue

If the problem is related to using unknown scrolls, then probably it can be fixed by having a separate "unknown" item. This can be used to see how people id potions/scrolls
