Q. about silver rings
Q.Does wearing a silver ring affect the damage you do to vampires? If so, is it also dependent on which hand you wear it on and whether you are using a short or long weapon? (I.e. if you punch a vampire with a silver ring, the silver makes direct contact, but if you're wielding a sword, does it really even matter?). Would dual-wielding two silver rings do even more damage to vampires?
A.IIRC, Putting a silver ring hand fighting bare-handed (no gloves either !) grants damage bonus as a silver weapon. I'm almost sure I've seen that on a spoiler (maybe from Eva's page) but I can't find it right now. Yes, that's what happens. It's almost completely useless, of course, but I guess if you HAPPEN to have a useful silver ring and useless gloves, you may want to take off your gloves for fighting silver-haters. Other than that it's pretty pointless. Here's a YANI though: if you've ever eaten a silver item, then vampries that drain life on you (which I assume represents their blood-sucking ability) should die instantly because of the silver in your bloodstream. If you hit directly without wielding anything, you inflict either bare- handed base damage (d2) or martial arts base damage (d4). No base damage occurs against shades. If the base damage is more than one point, you exercise that weapon skill. Added to this is a d4 bonus if wearing blessed gloves while fighting undead or demons, or d20 if wearing a silver ring(s) and no gloves while fighting a silver-hating monster ... So if you wield a weapon, a silver ring does not make contact. If you wear gloves, a silver ring does not make contact. If you use barehanded combat, a silver ring does make contact. For a Monk or other martial arts class, this may be a reasonable approach. I think a silver dagger works better for most classes most of the time.
