Still on my first serious Steam character, and enjoying greatly (although
it seems to have become a lot easier at recent clvls; my first few british
engineers all died rapidly, all to poison from envies or trog
witchdoctors, but once I got a decent RPois I have not had trouble since -
now clvl 42, dlvl 10).

Anyway, the point: do the various items that are of the same personage -
Edison, Tesla, etc. - convey any extra benefits when worn together?

[Also, is there a list of the Steamband uniques? It would be neat to know
whether I'm missing any at the end. Some OoL have already appeared - the
Babbage engine, Jack the Ripper, Moriarty, etc. - and all died easily to
the Clockwork Chassis (I have been using the Carbine only for things that
resist projectiles).]

On a further tack: I agree with previous posters that my amulet of *Regen*
is far better than John Dee, for example, which I only carry around as an
intended swap-in for single tough creatures (haven't needed it yet). The
*Regen* allows me to just go to a pit entrance, fire forward cannons into
the pit, and hold down 'n' until everything inside is dead without ever
getting below max mana or hp!

No. The code is there for kit bonii but non-functioning.

Wizard mode will allow you to print out a unique spoiler list. Also
turning on cheat_know will let you look at them in the knowledge screen.
