Just a question about the 'K' line of p_info.txt:

R:K:disarming:magic-device:saving-throw:stealth:searching:frequency-of-searching:to-hit-normal:to-hit-bows

(or R:K:dis:dev:sav:stl:srh:fos:thn:thb)

What kind of quantities should I be using here?

I mean, thn and thb are obvious, but what is the actual effect of a number I put into dis, dev etc.?

I looked in birth.txt (the obvious place) and found nothing about these (though that could just be my poor searching skills...). Where can I look to find the effects in the source?

Thanks, --TheFalcon

NeilStevens: I don't think those lines for race matter anymore. Try it.

TheFalcon: Oh, that might explain why I couldn't find anything on it anywhere...

I shall mess around with it a bit and see what happens; I'm good at that. ;)

ZizzoTheInfinite: These numbers used to affect the "Miscellaneous Abilities" listed on the character sheet—Saving Throw, Perception, Disarming, and so forth. Thru 2.2.7, the dis numbers (for instance) from the lines corresponding to your character's race, subrace and class would be added to p_ptr->skill_dis, setting the base level of the character's Disarming ability, which would then be further modified by INT, DEX and Disarming skill level. As of 2.3.0, as Neil indicates, these numbers are no longer used (though they're still parsed by src/init1.c, and might be available via Lua; I haven't checked) and all the abilities have base level zero.
