'''Warding''' is an [[intrinsic]] that sometimes causes the melee and ranged weapon attacks of summoned monsters against you to fail:

{{crawlquote|''(Monster) tries to attack you, but flinches away.''}}

The chance of the attack being prevented is based on the monster's [[magic resistance]]. Each attack forces a roll of the monster's MR vs. 1d60; if the monster's roll wins, the attack goes through as normal.

However, it will not prevent summoned monsters from casting [[spell]]s or using abilities such as [[torment]] or [[hellfire]] against you. This makes it much more useful against such spells as [[Summon Horrible Things]] and [[Haunt]] than against [[Summon Greater Demon]], for example.

Warding will not provide protection against monsters that are [[durably summoned]].

Warding can be obtained through:
*[[Amulet of warding]]
*[[Staff of summoning]]
*[[Macabre finger necklace]]
*Some [[randart]]s

==History==
*Removed in [[0.18]].
*Prior to [[0.17]], warding didn't apply to ranged attacks.
*Prior to [[0.11]], you could have up to two ranks of warding by wearing an amulet of warding while wielding a [[staff of summoning]]. Each rank of the old warding intrinsic was worth half of what current warding provides.
