 In dnethack, potions of blood function closer to tins, ie, you will find potions of winter wolf blood etc. To a vampire, a potion of blood provides the same nutrition as the bloody corpse of the monster it was drawn from.

 Droven signet rings are actually poison-injection rings. When dipped into an eligible potion, the ring absorbs 30 doses of poison, which can be used by making unarmed attacks while wearing the ring. If two signet rings are worn, both apply their poison. Each ring also bears a specific crest. Rings engraved with the holy symbol of Lolth (a silver spider-like star) count as silver rings for attacking silver-hating monsters. All drow begin play with a signet ring loaded with sleeping poison. Signet rings are guaranteed to be of a valid type for starting players.
