Raze, I had quite a few cursed rings in the English version and some of them cut down a part of my resistances (specially in the catacombs and in the Cursed Abbey, dropped by enemies - but even these orcs dropped them). I took great care to check my char over and over again, cause I didn't know if ONLY the magic barrier spell would trigger the res. bug.

And I recall gamers having the stamina bug even without the halberd...
I know, I was very puzzled about this version difference, when I played the Engl. version for the 1st time, cause I had the feeling, the German was not so "cursed" - but maybe I was just lucky.
