Ring of slaying

Version 0.10: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Jewellery
Name	Ring of slaying
Icon

This ring increases or decreases the hand-to-hand and missile combat skills of its wearer.

A ±X, ±Y ring of slaying affects accuracy by X and damage dealt by Y in the same format as weapon enchantments. It will affect both melee and ranged combat, but not magic.

The best possible rings of slaying are (+0, +9) and (+7,+7).

A similar effect occasionally appears on artefact jewellery and armour, where it will be described as "It affects your accuracy/damage dealing abilities" and notated as "Acc+x" or "Dam+x". This effect, often referred to as slaying, is functionally identical to a ring of slaying.

History

Prior to 0.10, slaying was more powerful as it was included before the weapon skill multiplier.
