Updated Death Penalty and Permanent Item Damage Changes

[Kerr]

It kind of puts off the big 400 lb gorilla in the corner for the time being. In that eventually uber items will be so plentiful as to make the game almost trivial.
If everyone walked around with a vorpal, a banisher, a disruptor, what kind of thing does that do?

First thing I'd do as a coder would be to remove Smiter, Disruptor, Banisher, Paralyzer, Vorpal from the random loot tables. Only allow those effects to drop on named items, not part of random treasure generation.

And yes, I say this not even owning one vorpal and only owning two paralyzers, two disruptors (one can't even use yet) and one disruptor.
