Flesh out wet towels a bit:
1) wielding a wet towel--or a dry one which becomes wet--won't give a
"you begin bashing with your wet towel" message when attacking;
2) if a formerly wet towel dries out completely while wielded, *do* give
"you begin bashing with your towel" on the next attack;
3) successfully hitting with a wet towel no longer always loses wetness;
4) water damage to dry towel always confers at least 1 point of wetness;
5) taking fire damage (via burnarmor() which is used for most types of
fire damage) has a chance to partially or fully dry a wet towel
(regardless of whether it's wielded at the time; applies to monsters
as well as hero; each towel being carried is checked until one is
affected, then any others escape drying.
Not done:
-) attacking with a wielded wet towel perhaps ought to be treated as a
weapon attack using whip skill rather than an augmented arbitrary-
junk-by-weight attack;
-) throwing a wet towel should probably ignore wetness--it's just a wet
piece of cloth when not finishing with a whip snap; right now, it
loses a point of wetness when thrown and usually--#3 above--another
point if it hits...;
-) hitting burning creatures is no different than hitting anything else;
-) likewise for hitting wet creatures.
