Rogue starting inventory -- "+9" lockpicks

(Fixed in 06d211f75c76a69dcb29e5c5a7c2c10f63cc7d4d)

Hi. Rogues seem to start with a lockpick with the spe 9. Why is that? Is it for historical reason (was introduced with 3.3.1 it seems), or was it just a typo?

Wand of teleportation quirks in muse

Hi. While backporting a FIQhack change into a bilious patch for 3.6.0, I reordered some of the musables (as part of the patch). Notably, MUSE_WAN_TELEPORTATION was changed to 13 from 15. The source didn't like this; this made MUSE_FIRE_HORN and MUSE_WAN_TELEPORTATION the same value which interfered in using offensive items. The MUSE_WAN_TELEPORTATION entry should probably be removed from m.has_offensive, because it can't actually be reached.

Another alternative is to combine the "enums" into a single one, to prevent cases like this, so that you can use one item for several cases.

comments: A lot of players end up using weapons when playing Monks eventually due to their comparably weak martial arts (despite the bonuses). To improve their martial arts, I suggest making the enchantment of your gloves matter if fighting bare-handed, at least if doing so with martial arts with Gauntlets of Power.
