Ring of protection
Revision as of 11:31, 19 July 2020 by LunaeLumen (talk | contribs) (Updated enchantment value changes for 0.25)
Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A +4 or -4 ring of protection affects the AC of the wearer. If the enchantment is negative, the ring is normally cursed. Even if you've identified rings of protection in general, you won't know if the enchantment is positive or negative until after you've put it on.
Desirability
All characters are going to want more AC, but sacrificing a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea. Unlike most amulets, rings take effect immediately, so you can quickly switch between them at need.
History
Prior to 0.25 enchantments were random values between 1 and 6.
