| | |
| The '''ring of sustain abilities''' cuts any temporary loss of [[stats]] in half, rounding down. You'll receive a cumulative effect for wearing two rings, reducing stat loss by 75%. Note that most sources of stat loss cause you to lose a single point, so the ring completely negates those (e.g. [[sickness]] and the [[Bad mutations#Deteriorating Body|Deteriorating Body mutation]]).
| |
| | |
| Note that this does not affect the ''permanent'' loss of abilities that might be incurred by [[mutation]]s.

| ==Strategy==
| |
| For a healthy character, this is a worthwhile ring to have around but not generally worth wearing all the time. Just put it on if you come across a monster capable of draining your stats. Only [[deep dwarf|deep dwarves]] (who do not regain stats naturally) and [[mummy|mummies]] (who can only regain stats by waiting or spending a permanent MP) might consider wearing one of these rings all the time, and even for them, a good resistance is usually a better choice, since stat drain is rarely immediately life-threatening.
| |
| | |
| However, the [[Bad mutations#deterioration|deterioration mutation]] makes these rings become far more useful. Level 1 of that mutation is generally just annoying, but at levels 2 and 3, it becomes almost a necessity to wear one of these rings until you can get rid of the mutation. A deep dwarf with any level of deterioration will nearly always want to be wearing a ring of sustain abilities.
