Yeah, I have seen that on other muds, that's a quite cool code. That also applies to flying I think, being disarmed when you're flying, the item should drop to the ground unless it actually is a 'flying item'. Then it would fall down along all the rooms until it hits ground... I don't know what happens if you're in the air and you suddenly can't fly anymore, do you fall?
If not, you should.

> Now, my point is that sword shouldn't have been there. A sword is made of metal and should sink when dropped in the water. The same goes for most non-wood-things (Not small pebbles). It would make sense that if you were disarmed at the sea, you would have to dive down to get your weapon. Perhaps if one had a 60-foot yard it could be argued that it would land on that, but really who have such when it is really needed ? This would make diving more fun, picking up that wand of ocus someone dropped, getting that one big pile of gold from the decayed corpse ect.
