Warning

Warning is an intrinsic conveyed by wearing a ring of warning. It gives you advance warning of nearby monsters you can't see by representing them with a number from 1 to 5 based on their level. (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) The number is ML/4, where ML is the monster's level (though this will go no higher than 5, and 0 is not displayed). The glyphs displayed are described as an "unknown creature causing you <feeling>", where <feeling> is one of worry, concern, anxiety, disquiet, alarm, or dread for warning levels zero to five respectively.

Warning is considered a useful ring in ring strategy.

Besides the ring, some artifacts convey warning: the Orb of Fate and the Master Key of Thievery. A few roles also gain intrinsic warning when reaching a certain experience level: XL 7 as a monk and XL 15 as a caveman, healer, priest and wizard.
