Doesn't help characters who are illiterate.
@Elone: selling an item at a store will ID it (although not reveal bless/curse status). You'll have to pay a premium to buy it back, but the scaling on item prices doesn't seem too bad in this game--you can normally buy stuff back for maybe 2x what you sold it for, and a [-1,+3] studded leather armor doesn't cost much more than a [-1,+6]. Since there aren't that many other uses for gold, and there are lots and lots of junk items, this seems like a decent solution for the moment. [edit]Unfortunately, blessed/cursed items do not seem to cost more/less than uncursed varieties with the same stats, so you can't use this AFAIK.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
