Whether this ring is useful or not is largely situational, although life protection is decidedly less useful than fire or cold resistance. As most draining attacks are subject to [[EV]], very agile characters will not generally need much negative energy resistance. However, high-AC, low-EV characters taking on the [[shadow dragon]]-heavy [[The Vaults|Vault]]:5 will usually want at least two levels of life protection, since they can otherwise expect to come out of that place 1-2 experience levels below where they began if a dragon manages to pin him down for too long.

A ring that protects the life-force of its wearer from negative energy, making them partially immune to the draining effects of undead and necromantic magic.

A ring of positive energy provides one level of negative energy resistance (rN+), protecting its wearer from draining attacks and necromantic magic.

Desirability

For most of a 3-rune game, negative energy isn't common. You may come across occasional enemies with negative damage, such as jorogumos, deep elf death mages or shadow dragons, so it's nice to keep a source of rN+ handy.

In extended, negative energy and torment are much more common; having good amounts of rN+ is more important. However, dedicating an entire ring slot to a single source of rN+ isn't the greatest. Note that The Shining One provides rN+++ to pious followers, making this ring redundant.
