An '''amulet of regeneration''' increases its wearer's [[regeneration rate]] by +0.8 HP/turn, greatly hastening the HP recovery rate of your character. This benefit becomes less pronounced as your max HP rises, but its effect is always substantial. When natural healing is unavailable, the amulet's effects are less impressive; [[deep dwarves]] gain no HP regeneration whatsoever from wearing it, nor [[Ghoul]]s and bloodless [[Vampire]]s when there are enemies in sight.

Name Amulet of regeneration
Icon Amulet of regeneration.png
An amulet that increases the wearer's natural regeneration rate. In order to function, it must first attune itself to the wearer's body at full health.

An amulet of regeneration increases its wearer's regeneration rate by +0.8 HP/turn, greatly hastening the HP recovery rate of your character. This benefit becomes less pronounced as your max HP rises, but its effect is always substantial.

Increased regeneration does not begin until after your HP has been at maximum while wearing the amulet, so there's no point in swapping one on after a battle to recover faster. -Regen from Inhibited Regeneration prevents this amulet from working.

Desirability

Sources of regeneration are generally very welcome. For a large portion of the game, the regeneration gives a noticable combat boost. Even when it doesn't, reducing the time spent recovering between battles lowers your piety decay and makes it less likely for new enemies to find you while wandering. It is also very welcome for players looking to maximize their score. Don't be afraid to swap it out for another amulet, however.
