We need to think about a proper implementation of binocular-like devices. Right now, any vision or hearing aid, such as NVG, that you have in your hands will give you a vision bonus! That is not right. I am thinking of utilizing the Look command somehow.

Edit: Actually, hand-held items present the most problems in terms of bonuses. Binoculars and such are about the only ones that make sense, and they need special treatment anyway. Right now, if you are holding a pistol in one hand and a sniper scope in another, it has the same effect as if the scope was attached to the pistol! Ditto for the laser scope.

Vests, helmets, and leggings are also capable of contributing bonuses, but that's not a problem unless you are trying to do something silly. What could be a problem are attachments to those items, which in the current code will contribute their bonuses as well. You could very well make NVGs, for instance, attachable to your vest or leggings.
