If you have a cursed ring that is normally good what does it really do? For example, does a ring of protection [-1] still protect you but not as good as a [+0]? This would seem consistant with armor (banded mail [-1] still offers you protection [6]). Or would the cursed ring of protection actually make you weaker than not wearing it all? -- ...ihnp4!tellab1!steve Steve Harpster Tellabs, Inc.

The ring has no intrinsic armor class. it modifies your CURRENT armorclass by whatever value its plus is. Therefore, if the ring is [-1] and you're current AC is 6, and you put on the ring, you are easier to hit. -- Dave Cohrs @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!dave dave@wisc-rsch.arpa
