This amulet makes its wearer less accurate in hand combat and when targeting monsters via ranged weapons or spells.

Wearing an amulet of inaccuracy decreases the accuracy of each of your attacks, physical or magical, by a random amount ranging from 0 to 5. This utterly useless amulet would never be used if not for the fact that it does not identify when worn; consider this a good reason not to wear unidentified amulets.

Although they serve no useful purpose, the amulet of the Air artefact uses an amulet of inaccuracy as a base item, adding several very useful benefits to more than compensate for its penalty to accuracy.

History

Prior to 0.12, this amulet's negative effect would not calculate correctly for ranged weapons.
