 [[SLASH'EM]] adds two more items which give this very useful property - [[The Hand of Vecna (SLASH'EM)|The Hand of Vecna]] and [[Gauntlets of Defense]].  These make [[wishing]] for an artifact with half physical damage less desirable, as the Hand of Vecna can be obtained by any character in SLASH'EM's mid-game, and provides hungerless regeneration and cold resistance as well as half physical damage.
