Dragon Age: Origins Guide 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 Magister's Cinch in the belt slot, for example, reduces hostility and grants a 10 percent bonus to healing effects. Depending on how you want to build up your character, you may opt for the Warden's Oath amulet to provide 2 more constitution points, or a Ring of Faith with its +10 percent fire damage for a Fireball-happy mage. 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.
