Revision as of 20:28, 16 March 2012
In GruntHack, an object property is a magical attribute associated with a non-artifact item which does not normally have that property; for example, a leather cloak of fire resistance would have the "fire resistance" property. Only weapons (including weapon tools), armor, rings, and amulets can have object properties.
Randomly generated objects have a 1 in 100 chance of being generated with at least one property.
A wish can apply a single non-detrimental property to the object wished for. Of those objects, each has a recursive 1 in 250 chance of having an additional property applied to it.
Wizards can sense object properties before they are identified, and see a "magical" prefix before the relevant properties are known.
