Type	Jewellery
Name	Ring of protection
Icon

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

Prior to 0.25 enchantments were random values between 1 and 6.

-A '''±X ring of protection''' affects the [[AC]] of the wearer by X (ranges from -6 to 6). If X is negative, the [[ring]] is normally [[cursed]]. Even if you've identified rings of protection in general, you won't know the specific amount of protection a given ring offers until after you've put it on.

-Depends on the strength of the ring. All characters are going to want more AC, but sacrificing a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea. A +1 ring is something you'll likely only use until a decent alternative comes around, but a +4-6 ring may be worth wearing through to the end of the game.
