Default Re: Arena fix

The problem with making the prize better is that winning the arena means that the same unit must participate in the next arena. Making the prize too good would make the first arena more worthy but make all following arenas worth less. Taking the "best fighter" and making it a better fighter would not help the arenas.

Also granting a weapon that cannot be dropped will always be a problem for some arena people. Maybe it should be a misc item, or a helmet. And give it bonuses that are good to have but not applicable to the arena.

Items
3. Give the wielder 25 forge bonus.
4. Give the wielder the ability to teleport. (Heck, it would explain how he got back to the tourney.

would be great ideas. Lets continue along that line.

Maybe add Fortune Telling. (decrease bad events in the province he is in)

This actually turns out not to be the case. Probably it's a bug, but I've had my champion not go to the arena accidentally, because I was messing around with his loadout in the lab to get ready for the fight. All that happened was that I got the "Poof! your trident disappeared" message when somebody else won the Arena fight.
