One thing I just remembered is the different durations also, if you have some affects that are set for permanent, but some that are set for a certain # of hours (if you've fixed this in your mud) you'll want to either specify a variable to hold the total of those values also, or an average of them, or the highest of all of them, or whatever, and change the original affect in the chain's ->duration field to that value...

For example - Item 1 has an 'addaffect' of +100 hp, and Item 2 has an 'addaffect' of +20 hp. When 'combined' by the player, the new item will have +120 hp. Is there something in the ROM code that I am missing that does this, or I have to write one myself? If so, any help would be good.
