Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening eGuide Essentials Equipment

Accessories

Belts, amulets, and rings fall into the accessories category, and each provides more magical bonuses to augment your characters' attributes and skills. The Girdle of Kal'Hirol in the belt slot, for example, increases defense, fire resistance, cold resistance, and physical resistance. Depending on how you want to build up your character, you may opt for the Will of the Unyielding amulet to provide more willpower, or a Ring of Mastery for more spellpower. When you receive a new accessory, you may not want to drop it on your main PC each time. Think about which party member it benefits the most and give it to them. Giving an item granting extra defense to the tank benefits the party more than giving it to your PC rogue who barely needs it.
