What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature?
Bat Country wonders: "The workflow system, at the department I develop for, was hand-coded by my predecessor in a rather short amount of time, resulting in somewhat unreadable code with a number of interesting 'features.' When I took over maintenance of the code base, I started patching bugs and cleaning up the code in preparation for a new set of features. After I was done, I got a pile of complaints about features that had disappeared, which turned out to be caused by the bugs in the code. So, that leads me to ask: what is your favorite bug that you either can't live without or makes your life easier?"
it's still a unix rip off and no, it's not as useful as you think.
the only thing funny about your jackass comment is that you actually think it's useful.

Regarding the clothing thing, Exquisite clothes can hold rather big enchantments. Exquisite Rings and amulets can take extreme enchantments. If you put as much Chameleon on these as possible, you can walk around with over 100% chameleon without even wearing any armor. Why is that so good? Because 100% chameleon is the same as invisiblity except it can't be broken. With 100%+ Chameleon, anyone you attack will not attack you back; they'll run around aimlessly without being able to spot you. This is true even for Dagoth Ur. With 100%+ Chameleon you are free to loot and steal all you want and not get caught. Another exploit that was fun was getting the "Summon Golden Saint" spell and getting Azura's Star. Summon a Golden Saint, cast Soul Trap on it, and kill it, and you get a free Golden Saint soul. Excellent for making "constant effect" enchantments such as the aforementioned "chameleon clothes".
