Subject potions and scrolls
Potions and scrolls have up until now had the interesting behavior of evaporating/crumbling after a time, but only if they were in the inventory of a mob or player who died would the countdown be set. If that doesn't make sense to you, you're not alone. This is a holdover from original ROM code that we have decided to remove. Any potions/scrolls that already have a countdown will still eventually disappear, but new potions and scrolls are safe from having this countdown set. Thanks to Merlyn for pointing this out.
