There's your problem. When changing the data type of modifier, you must
change the places where it's used directly, like:

void affect_modify(struct char_data *ch, byte loc, sbyte mod,
                   bitvector_t bitv, bool add)
should be
void affect_modify(struct char_data *ch, byte loc, int mod,
                   bitvector_t bitv, bool add)

since sbyte has a data range of -127 - 128, you'll predictably get strange
results from not changing affect_modify. You'll probably need to cast 'mod'
as sh_int throughout most of the function, though.
