* Such items must be specially commissioned. (** Lesser Amulets ("+0") are
available for about £1000, giving 1hp damage reduction.) |
Amulets reduce damage from magical attacks, e.g. dragon breath, Magic Missiles and similar
evocations, by d6 per "+". Countercharms negate effects of one specific spell on the
wearer, if correctly invoked. Protection Devices reduce damage from weapons by 1 per
"+": Bracers
are not usable with armour; Cloaks are not usable with metal armour; Rings can be used with any armour.
Blessed Items (actually available from the various Temples) enhance resistance to magic by adding +1 per "+" to the
characteristic rolled.
The Healers and Other Temples
Temples will give various services, healing potions and
holy items to members who are in good standing -
provided recipients show their worthiness and make suitable donations, of
course.
The Healers (the Irreproachable Order and the Order of the Balm of Joy, pacifistic sects of the sun-god
Ammon) typically require only half the usual fee.
