Ego-Items - Full List
The names given below are partial; that is to say the name of an actual item will reflect the actual type of item as well as the ego-item class, e.g. Long Sword of Slay Animal, or Helm of Beauty.
Many ego-items specify that they sustain one stat, confer one ability or one resistance; the actual effect is determined randomly from the possible choices in that category.
No ego-items have resistance to poison, nether or chaos by default, but these can be found when chosen at random; all three are very rare, however.
In any category, most ego-items can be any type within that category; where this is not the case, it is noted.
