| A ring that increases or decreases the wearer's effectiveness with ranged weapons and melee attacks, depending on its degree of enchantment. |
A +4 affects the accuracy and damage of your melee (including unarmed), ranged, and auxiliary attacks.
A functionally identical effect occasionally appears on artefact jewellery and armour, denoted as "Slay ±X".
Desirability
Very high; more damage and accuracy means killing enemies faster, which means less exposure to their attacks. Characters with fast weapons and/or auxiliary attacks benefit the most from slaying, as the bonus is applied with each attack; users of unarmed combat and throwing weapons will also appreciate a ring of slaying, as neither method is subject to weapon enchantments.
History
- Prior to 0.27, you could find rings of slaying with a -4 enchantment.
- Prior to 0.25, enchantments were random values between 1 and 6 (positive and negative).
- Before the weapon enchantment merge in 0.15, rings of slaying had two distinct bonuses--one for accuracy, and one for damage.
- Prior to 0.10, slaying was more powerful, as it was included before the weapon skill multiplier.
