| This ring increases or decreases the wearer's effectiveness with ranged weapons and melee attacks. |
A ±X ring of slaying affects accuracy and damage dealt by X in the same format as weapon enchantments, maxing out at +9 (need confirmation). It will affect both melee (including unarmed) and ranged combat, but not magic.
If the modifier is negative, the ring is often cursed.
A functionally identical effect occasionally appears on artefact jewellery and armour, denoted as "Slay +X".
History
Before the weapon enchantment merge in 0.15, rings of slaying had two distinct bonuses--one for accuracy, and one for damage.
Prior to 0.10, slaying was more powerful as it was included before the weapon skill multiplier.
