Ring

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A talisman charged with arcane forces of unknown provenance, to be worn as jewellery on a finger. "A ring of gold and a milk-white dove Are goodly gifts for thee, And a hempen rope for your own love To hang upon a tree." -Oscar Wilde, "Chanson". 1881.

A ring is a type of jewellery. Most characters may wear one ring on each hand, paw, or tentacle. This usually limits you to two rings at a time, but octopodes may wear eight, and anyone wearing a macabre finger necklace gets one extra slot. In spite of their additional limbs, formicids are still limited to two ring slots.

There are several base types of rings, in addition to artefact rings. For a list of unrandart artefect rings see List of unrands.
