The imbiber may use a melee weapon (using melee combat modifiers) to attack flying or levitating monsters. The monster must be in the air, not just at range. Like most potions, this takes one round to drink, so the character would not be able to attack a flying monster until the round after this potion is quaffed. (a Belt of Retrieval could bypass that restriction)
Once per room, the character wearing this ring ignores any potential Damage Reduction magic or ability of the monster for the first successful attack. Thus the first successful attack causes the full calculated damage. The nature of the Damage Reduction this ring bypasses can be physical or magical/energy. E.g., it could ignore resistance to Fire attacks vs. a Fire enhanced weapon, so if the weapon caused three extra points of Fire damage per attack, but the creature was immune,
Physical ranged weapon attack damage inflicted upon the wearer is reduced by 1 point per attack. This item does not reduce damage inflicted by melee attacks or ranged spells.
