Due to a probably accidental line of code, a player vampire's bite attack, which is normally deactivated for stoning monsters, will be reactivated while wearing this amulet. This can make it easy to lose to a player who takes that chickatrice lightly because "I'm stoning resistant!" The main way to prevent this is to read battle spam messages carefully (which you should be doing anyway around a stoning monster, if not always.)

This doesn't appear to be true, at least not in the latest version. I've tried it with a player vampire, non-vampire polymorphed into vampire, and non-vampire polymorphed into mind flayer. The touching attacks were not done while the amulet was worn, so it did not turn me to stone. Unless there's some other situation where the amulet does activate the attack, this bit should be removed. -- Qazmlpok 02:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
