	The slaying boost is substantial, especially early on.

Still, it should be compared to wearing an attribute ring or defensive ring.		The slaying boost is substantial, especially early on.

	When judging artefacts with slaying, keep things in perspective. Gaining +1 slaying is too small to realistically matter, while negative slaying is obviously negative. Unless the slaying is particularly high (or low), the other qualities of an artefact are more important.		When judging artefacts with slaying, keep things in perspective.
