Holy f***ing moly!!!

I think the maximum + depends on the variant.

MAngband used to have(and maybe still does, I'm not sure) some kind of infinite generation process, with each step becoming progressively rarer. There was a player who had dual +18s, which were obscene.

It's a coinflip system -- the ring starts with a level-dependent bonus, and then starts flipping coins. Every time it comes up heads, the ring gets +1 and the coin is flipped again; if it comes up tails, then it stops. At 4450', I'm pretty sure you hit at or near the cap on the level-dependent bonus, which I think is +10. Which means that to get to +23 you need to pass 13 consecutive coinflips, at odds of 1 in 8192. So, pretty rare, but by no means impossible.

What would be really impressive is getting that ring at 50'.

I've quoted this before, but here it seems even more perfectly apropos:

Rosencrantz: Hmmm. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads.

[Guildenstern grabs the coin, checks both sides, then tosses it back to Rosencrantz]

Rosencrantz: Heads.

[Guildenstern pulls a coin out of his own pocket and flips it]

Rosencrantz: Bet? Heads I win?

[Guildenstern looks at coin and tosses it to Rosencrantz]

Rosencrantz: Again? Heads.

Guildenstern: Consider: One, probability is a factor which operates *within* natural forces. Two, probability is *not* operating as a factor. Three, we are now held within un-, sub- or super-natural forces. Discuss.

Rosencrantz: What?

Wow. You can use =CON for sure with that ring on one hand. And "Weaponmastery for damage and free action.
