Gauntlets and Shapeshifters

FAButzke

Hello, guys... Yep, I'm back.
I hope this time I'm reporting a real bug

See, I'm playing my first shapeshifter ever (and, surprisingly, having fun with him). But I noticed a couple of things.

1) The Gauntlets of Aln Zekk works perfectly for him. All the bonus apply (the 3+ damage and the 1d10 ice damage)

2) The Gauntlets of Crushing only applies the damage, not the THAC0 bonus (while shapeshifted). Shouldn't the THAC0 also be applied? After all, he IS using his fists.

3) The Aln Zekk ice damage seems to be applied to weapons as well. The description only mention "when attacking with fists" for the raw damage bonus, not the 15% chance of ice damage, but I kind of assumed (and I think it would make more sense) if the ice bonus only worked when attacking with fists too (to be consistent with the raw damage bonus condition).

Thanks in advance.

Neither gauntlets apply any bonus damage or Thac0 to a shapeshifted character, unless that character's natural weapons have been dispelled (which is itself a bug). They do however display an incorrect adjustment to the listed Damage in the Inventory and Record Screens.

The 15% ice damage is applied on "melee hit", so anything classified melee will work. It's the only option for the effect right now.

So the damage listed is incorrect. I've been fooled then. =D
My question then is: Shouldn't they apply? I mean, for all intents and purposes, you are attacking with fists while shapeshifted.
