Incorrect spoiler lists seem to appear here very frequently, and I often
post corrections. I am posting this corrected spoiler list, and will be
saving it as part of an attempt to keep answers for frequently asked
questions.

Well, it's a spoiler list, so...

feather fall, RF, RC, RL, RA, +(6-10) to AC
(SM) Slay Monster Damage (x 2) vs. monsters, see invisible. [found in
4.87 only]

has see invisible through 5.1.4]
(SD) Slay Dragon Damage (x 4) vs. dragons.
