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
