Protection is the name of a number of effects which reduce your AC by magical means.
If you have any source of protection, you will receive the enlightenment message, "You are protected." ("You are ineffectively protected." if your total protection is negative.)
Extrinsic protection
The following are sources of extrinsic protection:
- The spellbook of protection gives a spell that temporarily lowers AC.
- A ring of protection lowers AC by its enchantment when worn. Thus, a +1 ring of protection lowers AC by 1, and a -2 ring of protection raises AC by 2. Rings of protection with negative enchantment are often also cursed.
- The cloak of protection gives you extrinsic protection (appears in enlightenment list), which has no effect.
Intrinsic protection
The following are sources of intrinsic protection:
- Donating to an aligned priest in a temple.
- As a favor from prayer.
- Gained by eating a ring of protection.
Strategy
All of these types of protection stack; you can buy protection from a temple (more than once), wear two rings of protection, and zap the spell, if you need a large temporary AC boost.
