An amulet that makes its wearer less accurate in melee combat and when targeting monsters via ranged attacks or spells.

Wearing an amulet of inaccuracy decreases the accuracy of each of your attacks, physical or magical, by 5. This utterly useless amulet would never be used if not for the fact that it always generates cursed. Consider this a good reason to avoid putting on unidentified amulets without a scroll of remove curse on hand.

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 compensate for its penalty to accuracy.

History

  • Prior to 0.15, amulets of inaccuracy were not always cursed, and would not identify when worn.
