The '''amulet of drain resistance''' is a new amulet in [[SLASH'EM]] which provides drain resistance, as is provided in vanilla nethack only by wielding [[Stormbringer]], [[Excalibur]] or the [[Staff of Aesculapius]], the last of which no longer provides the intrinsic in SLASH'EM.

==Strategy==
Due mainly to [[wand of draining|wands of draining]], drain resistance becomes a necessity in SLASH'EM's late game. The amulet of drain resistance is a very good choice for fulfilling this, at least for those who would otherwise wear an [[amulet of life saving]] or an [[amulet of flying]]. Be aware that a fast monster may be able to drain 2 (or possibly even more) levels from you before you can replace your amulet, resulting in a loss of level that cannot be immediately undone.

-Due mainly to [[wand of draining|wands of draining]], drain resistance becomes important in SLASH'EM's late game.  The amulet of drain resistance is a very good choice for fulfilling this, at least for those who would otherwise wear an [[amulet of life saving]] or an [[amulet of flying]].  Be aware that a fast monster may be able to drain 2 (or possibly even more) levels from you before you can replace your amulet, resulting in a loss of level that cannot be immediately undone.
+Drain resistance becomes very important in SLASH'EM from the mid-game on due to the presence of the [[wand of draining]], and the amulet is a valuable non-artifact source of the property overall&mdash;this is especially true for [[neutral]] heroes in SLASH'EM, where [[The Staff of Aesculapius]] no longer has drain resistance while [[wielded]].
-Don't bother trying to eat them hoping to acquire [[intrinsic]] drain resistance, as it is impossible and merely wastes the amulet.
+The amulet of drain resistance often competes for the amulet slot in most late-game kits and [[ascension kit]]s with the [[amulet of life saving]] and [[amulet of flying]]: while swapping amulets can balance this out in theory, a fast enough monster may be able to drain multiple levels from you before you can fully replace your amulet. A blessed [[potion of restore ability]] in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM can restore multiple drained levels, so always keep a couple on hand even after securing a source of drain resistance.
