D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

[Zardnaar]

All three of my bladesingers were nigh untouchable. I did not have a cloak of Displacement on any of them (I did have Bracers of Defense on two of them), but I used Blur and Protection from Evil and Good quite often.

They're gard t hit but usually low damage.

Blow your dspells to be a bad fighter. Ignore them hit someone else.

I haven't checked but I would expect they are rarer on the random item generation charts as well being on one of the multiple 1e miscellaneous item subtables compared with the single rings table.

only slightly more.

When rolling on the magic item tables, the chance of rolling a ring of protection randomly in 1E is 0.8% (8 times in 1000). That is a 5% chance of rolling a ring and a 16% chance of that ring being a Ring of Protection. The chance for rolling a cloak of protection is 0.69%, 3% chance of rolling on table III E2 Miscellaneous magic and a 23% chance of rolling a Cloak of Protection off of that table.
