New page

Firstly, I'd like to say that the [[Wards (dNetHack|wards system]] from [[dNetHack]] is wonderful way how to replace Elbereth and I really love how it works. Based on the idea of different wards protecting the player from different threats, I came up with an idea of improving/adding several rings to improve and replace the current behaviour of the [[ring of protection from shape changers]], which I feel is nearly useless, at it fills a small and rarely encountered niche as an utility item.

-Anyway, rings of protection from ''foo'' are an auxiliary system to the wards system, increasing your chances to have a countermeasure to a situation where you need an extra edge against a powerful opponent. While these rings won't directly save you by scaring all monsters as Elbereth or a ward would, they have several effects making you more safe around specific monster types.
