Object Values (oval#) and misc notes, by Item type.

ITEM_ARMOR
	oval0:  Armor Value.  This is how much damage is obsorbed before
			taking into account hit location.  For instance, when you are
			hit in the neck with 5 points of damage, and you have armor
			worth 3, then pre-hit location damage is 5-3=2.  (Multiplier
			for being hit on the neck is 3...so your approximate damage
			would be 2 x 3 = 6 (vs 5 x 3 = 15, which is what it would be
			without armor).  There are other factors in damage too, which
			aren't described here.
	oval1:  Armor Type:
		0 - quilted
		1 - leather
		2 - ring
		3 - scale
		4 - mail
		5 - plate
	
	Wear bits of HEAD or FACE armor can be set to Extra-bit of Mask to
	make helms, or other cloaking items. Use <oset mkeys> to add keywords
	for the mask. Note that ABOUT armor cannot be set to MASK. Use ITEM_WORN to
	make a masked item, a hooded cloak for example.

ITEM_BOARD

	board object, then create a board entry using "board create" to link

			NOTE:  Base delays are based on oval3.  For instance, a
			sword (3) might have a delay of 4 seconds, and a dagger (4)
			has a base delay of 3 seconds.  The oval5 is an adjustment
			to this base delay, either positive or negative in quarter
			seconds.  So, if you have a really fast dagger, you might
			put -2 in oval5, meaning 1/2 second faster than normal.

		(possibly by code or maybe by oset)
		
		use_skill;
		hit_type;
		delay;
