can't polymorph into a "nacre golem"

it is on the list, but I always get this message: "Be more precise!"

A good feature would be to select from a list with pictures. Maybe limit the list to creatures that have been seen, and materials that have been seen? Plus the usual INT check.

you mean something like a "polymorft"? (polymorph+craft), for golems would be quite interesting, may be require less INT if we actually saw the golem of the same material we also saw/touched.

I thought, as with the golden girdle of the other issue, that could be some missing configuration for that material.

anyway, whenever we can type something to be matched (like wishing) the search system seems broken. No matter what I type, I need just to type "bottle" and wait it randomize into the one I need... So may be, fixing/improving that search system would also fix for the polymorph I guess.

With pcre, the capabilities are hugely increased as we could also type regex to match. But a basic: bottle.*poison (where the " " would be substituted by ".*" w/o the user seeing) would make it much easier even to who doesnt know how to use regex :)

BTW, when polymorphing, you should be able to press "?" to get a list of creatures you have seen and can poly into.

@red-kangaroo yup, that's what I always do (out of laziness) :) I press '?', select 'nacre golem', hit enter, it writes "nacre golem" I hit enter again, it asks me for more precision...

more precision? humm... then I type: 'nacre golem.0' and it asks for more precision, then 'nacre golem.00' nah just kidding, but that request could actually explain what precise actually means :)
