"Undocumented features" are the subject of today's rant boys, girls, and things which fit neither definition. There is a certain sword whose description says nothing about berserking, but which nonetheless apparently does berserk its wielder, with a mighty +1 berserk ability.

While I agree that missile ranges are strange (then again, with an effective range of, say, 35, some arrows probably should drift to 40 or whatnot - and definately do, given the grouping we see on the arrow volleys), I hardly agree that the berserk is "undocumented", when the wielder clearly has the berserker ability icon. Undocumented is more like when the thing can cause disease but doesn't mention it - something you can't see.

Although... If a unique artifact is going to give berserker, it dang well ought to be +3 or more, not a measly +1. Commisserations Truper - here's a toast to a better year.
