When you activate a ring of communication, for the next minute you can clearly hear any words spoken by anyone within 1 mile who is wearing another ring of communication to which you are attuned. The volume of the speech and the background noise at either end make no difference; whispers are audible above even the sounds of combat. Any two or more ring wearers need only touch their rings together (a stan- dard action) and speak the command word in unison to attune the rings to each other. Any number of rings can become attuned to one another in this manner, so long as all are touched together at the same time. A ring remains attuned to the others until you attune it to a different ring. Prerequisites: Forge Ring, detect thoughts. Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.

RING OF CONTINUATION

PRICE 56,000 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 7th WEIGHT —This band of braided copper wires throbs ever so slightly in harmony with its wearer’s heartbeat. Whenever the wearer of this ring casts a spell with a range of personal and a duration of 10 minutes per level or longer, that spell remains in effect for 24 hours or until the wearer casts another spell with a range of personal (whichever comes first). Spells that usually only affect one specific action (such as making a particular attack) are expended after that action. This does not reduce the duration of spells that normally last longer than 24 hours. Casting a new spell does not eliminate a previous spell if its normal duration is such that it would still be in effect. However, attempts to dispel or otherwise eliminate a spell kept active by the ring work normally and, if successful, remove the spell from the ring, causing the wearer to lose all enefits from that spell. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 28,000 GP Forge Ring, mnemonic enhancer

RING OF COUNTERSPELLS

Aura moderate evocation; CL 11th
Slot ring; Price 4,000 gp; Weight —
This ring might seem to be a ring of spell storing upon first examination. However, while it allows a single spell of 1st through 6th level to be cast into it, that spell cannot be cast out of the ring again. Instead, should that spell ever be cast upon the wearer, the spell is immediately countered, as a counterspell action, requiring no action (or even knowledge) on the wearer's part. Once so used, the spell cast within the ring is gone. A new spell (or the same one as before) may be placed into it again. CONSTRUCTION Requirements Forge Ring, imbue with spell ability; Cost 2,000 gp

RING OF CURING

PRICE 10,000 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 8th WEIGHT —
This simple copper ring is a boon to those who spend their lives healing others. Whenever the wearer of a ring of curing casts a conjuration spell of the healing subschool, all maximums to the level-dependent healing provided by that spell increase by 2. For example, cure light wounds would provide a maximum healing of 1d8 + 7 (at 7th caster level), while heal would cure a maximum of 170 points of damage. This ring does not increase the wearer’s actual caster level, nor the amount of level dependent healing provided by any such spell. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 5,000 GP Forge Ring, Heighten Spell, consecrate 168

RING OF (THE) DARK HIDDEN

Price (Item Level): 2,000 gp (6th) Body Slot: Ring Caster Level: 3rd Aura: Faint; (DC 16) illusion Activation: — Weight: —
More than a dozen etchings of closed eyes circle this tarnished silver ring. You are invisible to darkvision, although you are fully visible in normal light.
Prerequisites: Forge Ring, invisibility. Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.
RING OF DELAYED DOOM
PRICE 45,000 GP AURA moderate conjuration CL 9th WEIGHT —
Whenever the mind or body of this ring’s wearer first becomes subject to any harmful effect that allows a saving throw to resist or mitigate it, he may, as an immediate action, choose to delay the onset of that effect for 1 minute, after he fails the saving throw but before its effects occur. This activation causes one of the ring’s nine garnets to turn to powder. When that minute passes, the wearer may continue to delay the onset of this harmful effect an additional minute as an immediate action by willing the ring to do so, which destroys another garnet, thus repeating the cycle for another minute. The delayed harmful effect occurs when the wearer falls unconscious, when the ring is removed, or 1 minute after the last time the ring’s power activated; rounds spent delaying the effect do not count toward the effect’s duration (for example, a curse that lasts 5 rounds takes effect for a full 5 rounds, even if the wearer delayed its effect several minutes). Effects that protect against or negate the harmful effect work normally while it is delayed.
The price of the ring is reduced by 5,000 gp for each of its garnets that has been destroyed. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 22,500 GP Forge Ring, heal, time stop

Ring of Divergence

Price: 18000 gp, 4th, CL 13th,

To create: 1500 gp, 120 xp, 18 days.

RING OF DJINNI CALLING

Aura strong conjuration; CL 17th Slot ring; Price 125,000 gp; Weight —
One of the many rings of fable, this "genie" ring is useful indeed. It serves as a special gate by means of which a specific djinni can be called from the Plane of Air. When the ring is rubbed (a standard action), the call goes out, and the djinni appears on the next round. The djinni faithfully obeys and serves the wearer of the ring, but never for more than 1 hour per day. If the djinni of the ring is ever killed, the ring becomes nonmagical and worthless.
Requirements Forge Ring, gate; Cost 62,500 gp

RING OF ELEMENTAL COMMAND

Aura strong conjuration; CL 15th Slot ring; Price 200,000 gp; Weight — All four kinds of elemental command rings are very powerful. Each appears to be nothing more than a lesser magic ring until fully activated (by meeting a special condition, such as single-handedly slaying an elemental of the appropriate type or exposure to a sacred material of the appropriate element), but each has certain other powers as well as the following common properties.
Elementals of the plane to which the ring is attuned can't attack the wearer, or even approach within 5 feet of him. If the wearer desires, he may forego this protection and instead attempt to charm the elemental (as charm monster, Will DC 17 negates). If the charm attempt fails, however, absolute protection is lost and no further attempt at charming can be made.
Creatures from the plane to which the ring is attuned who attack the wearer take a –1 penalty on their attack rolls. The ring wearer makes applicable saving throws against the extraplanar creature's attacks with a +2 resistance bonus. He gains a +4 morale bonus on all attack rolls against such creatures. Any weapon he uses bypasses the damage reduction of such creatures, regardless of any qualities the weapon may or may not have.
The wearer of the ring is able to converse with creatures from the plane to which his ring is attuned. These creatures recognize that he wears the ring, and show a healthy respect for the wearer if alignments are similar. If alignments are opposed, creatures fear the wearer if he is strong. If he is weak, they hate and desire to slay him. The possessor of a ring of elemental command takes a saving throw penalty as follows:
Element Saving Throw Penalty

Air –2 against earth-based effects
Earth –2 against air- or electricity-based effects
Fire –2 against water- or cold-based effects
Water –2 against fire-based effects

In addition to the powers described above, each specific ring gives its wearer the following abilities according to its kind.

Flaming sphere (twice per day)

At the end of any turn, if you are at least 10 feet from the point where you started your turn, this ring creates a field of warping energy that lasts until the start of your next turn. This field functions as an entropic shield spell. Any ranged attacks directed at you that require an attack roll have a 20% miss chance. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. If you also wear a magic item that provides a bonus to your speed, the miss chance provided by the ring increases to 50%. Prerequisites: Forge Ring, entropic shield.

RING OF GREATER COUNTERSPELLS

Price (Item Level): 16,000 gp (14th) Body Slot: Ring Caster Level: 15th Aura: Strong; (DC 22) abjuration Activation: — and immediate (command) Weight: —
s white gold ring is forged in a braided pat- tern. A single ruby set in its center flickers and pulses with magical energy. A ring of greater counterspells can hold a spell of 1st through 6th level, much like a ring of counterspells. You cannot cast a stored spell out of the ring, but should that spell ever be cast upon you, it is immediately countered, as a counterspell action, requiring no action (or even knowledge) on your part. This use causes the ruby stone to flash once and uses up the stored spell. Once it is gone, a new spell (or the same one as before) can be placed into the ring. If you are a spellcaster capable of countering a spell on your own, you can also access the ring’s secondary ability. Once per day as an immediate action, you can attempt to counter a single spell cast by a spellcaster you can see, provided he is within 100 feet. Like the ring’s other ability, this one requires no preparation or knowledge on your part. You need not make a Spellcraft check to identify the spell being cast, and the spell you use to counterspell can be of any level. This counterspell attempt functions like greater dispel magic used to counter a spell, except that you add your caster level to the coun- terspell check (maximum +20). Thus, a 12th-level wizard wearing a ring of greater counterspells would roll 1d20+12 when acti- vating this ability. When you activate this secondary effect, the braids of white gold seem to twist and writhe on your fi nger, and the metal glows faintly is if it were growing hot, although you feel no heat. Prerequisites: Forge Ring, greater dispel magic, imbue with spell ability. Cost to Create: 8,000 gp, 640 XP, 16 days.

RING OF LIGHTNING FLASHES

Price (Item Level): 11,500 gp (13th) Body Slot: Ring Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) evocation Activation: Swift (mental) Weight: —

When you activate a ring of lightning flashes, it emits a powerful blast of lightning that deals 5d6 points of electricity damage (Reflex DC 13 half) to all creatures within 5 feet (other than yourself). Any creature that is in physical contact with you at the time (grappling, engulfing, swallowing, or the like) receives no saving throw against the blast.
This ability functions three times per day.
Prerequisites: Forge Ring, lightning bolt. Cost to Create: 5,750 gp, 460 XP, 12 days.
RING OF INNER FORTITUDE
PRICE VARIES Minor 18,000 GP Major 42,000 GP Greater 66,000 GP AURA moderate conjuration CL 7th WEIGHT —
Alternating diamonds and rubies stud this band of white gold. A minor ring of inner fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary ability penalties the wearer takes by 2 points and ability drain by 1 point. If an effect targets multiple ability scores (for example, exhaustion, fatigue, or touch of idiocy), the ring reduces the damage, drain, or penalty for all ability scores. A major ring of inner fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary penalties by 4 points and reduces ability drain by 2 points. A greater ring of inner fortitude reduces ability damage or temporary penalties by 6 points and reduces ability drain by 3 points. Wearing a ring of inner fortitude ring does not make the wearer immune to conditions such as fatigued or exhausted even if the wearer ignores all ability damage, drain, or penalties from the condition. If the ring prevents any damage, drain, or penalty that are associated with a beneficial effect, it also negates the beneficial effect.

This white gold ring bears a square-cut ruby. Arcane runes are inscribed around its band. A ring of mystic defiance protects you from damaging magical effects. When you activate the ring, you ignore up to 10 points of damage dealt by a spell or spell-like ability. You can activate the ring after you learn the damage a spell or spell-like ability will deal to you, but before the damage is actually dealt. This ability functions three times per day.
This ability does not protect you from other magical effects (such as those generated by magic items, unless they specifically mimic spells). For example, the ring wouldn’t protect you from the extra damage dealt by a flaming sword, but it would protect you from a fireball cast from a scroll, wand, or other item. If you also wear a magic item that grants an enhancement bonus to your Intelligence or Charisma, you can add half that item’s bonus as an insight bonus on your Fortitude saves against spells and spell-like abilities (up to a maximum bonus of +3). This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.

RING OF THE RAM

Aura moderate transmutation; CL 9th
Slot ring; Price 8,600 gp; Weight —
The ring of the ram is an ornate ring forged of hard metal, usually iron or an iron alloy. It has the head of a ram as its device. The wearer can command the ring to give forth a ram-like force, manifested by a vaguely discernible shape that resembles the head of a ram or a goat. This force strikes a single target, dealing 1d6 points of damage if 1 charge is expended, 2d6 points if 2 charges are used, or 3d6 points if 3 charges (the maximum) are used. Treat this as a ranged attack with a 50-foot maximum range and no penalties for distance. The force of the blow is considerable, and those struck by the ring are subject to a bull rush if within 30 feet of the ring-wearer. The ram is Large and uses the ring's caster level as its base attack bonus with a Strength of 25. This gives the ram a Combat Maneuver Bonus of +17. The ram gains a +1 bonus on the bull rush attempt if 2 charges are expended, or +2 if 3 charges are expended.
In addition to its attack mode, the ring of the ram also has the power to open doors as if it were a character with Strength 25. This expends 1 charge. If 2 charges are expended, the effect is equivalent to a character with Strength 27. If 3 charges are expended, the effect is that of a character with Strength 29. A newly created ring has 50 charges. When all the charges are expended, the ring becomes a nonmagical item.

RING OF SHOOTING STARS

Aura strong evocation; CL 12th Slot ring; Price 50,000 gp; Weight — This ring has two modes of operation: one for being in dim light or outdoors at night, and a second one when the wearer is underground or indoors at night. During the night, under the open sky or in areas of shadow or darkness, the ring of shooting stars can perform the following functions on command.

Dancing lights (once per hour)
Light (twice per night)
Ball lightning (special, once per night)
Shooting stars (special, three per week)

The first special function, ball lightning, releases one to four balls of lightning (ring wearer's choice). These glowing globes resemble dancing lights, and the ring wearer controls them similarly (see the dancing lights spell description). The spheres have a 120-foot range and a duration of 4 rounds. They can be moved at 120 feet per round. Each sphere is about 3 feet in diameter, and any creature who comes within 5 feet of one causes its charge to dissipate, taking electricity damage in the process according to the number of balls created. Number of Balls Damage per Ball

1 lightning ball 4d6 points of electricity damage
2 lightning balls 3d6 points of electricity damage each
3 lightning balls 2d6 points of electricity damage each
4 lightning balls 1d6 points of electricity damage each

Once the ball lightning function is activated, the balls can be released at any time before the sun rises. Multiple balls can be released in the same round. The second special function produces three shooting stars that can be released from the ring each week, simultaneously or one at a time. They impact for 12 points of damage and spread (as a fireball) in a 5-foot-radius sphere for 24 points of fire damage.
Any creature struck by a shooting star takes full damage from impact plus full fire damage from the spread unless it makes a DC 13 Reflex save. Creatures not struck but within the spread ignore the impact damage and take only half damage from the fire spread on a successful DC 13 Reflex save. Range is 70 feet, at the end of which the shooting star explodes unless it strikes a creature or object before that. A shooting star always follows a straight line, and any creature in its path must make a save or be hit by the projectile.
Indoors at night, or underground, the ring of shooting stars has the following properties.

Faerie fire (twice per day)
Spark shower (special, once per day)

The spark shower is a flying cloud of sizzling purple sparks that fan out from the ring for a distance of 20 feet in an arc 10 feet wide. Creatures within this area take 2d8 points of damage each if not wearing metal armor or carrying a metal weapon. Those wearing metal armor and/or carrying a metal weapon take 4d8 points of damage. CONSTRUCTION Requirements Forge Ring, faerie fire, fireball, light, lightning bolt; Cost 25,000 gp

This ability functions once per day.

This simple gold band looks like a tiny armored girdle set with small spheres of silver. A ring of spell-battle informs you of all spell- casting that occurs within 60 feet of you, as well as allowing you to attempt a Spell- craft check (DC 15 + spell level) to identify the spell being cast (even if you can’t see its casting or effect). This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
Once per day, when you succeed in identifying a spell in this manner, you can activate the ring to counterspell that spell as if with dispel magic, or change the target of the spell to any target within 60 feet of you. If you choose an illegal target (because of the spell’s range limitation or other restrictions), the spell functions normally and the effect is wasted.

Ring of Spell Storing, Minor
Aura faint evocation; CL 5th Slot ring; Price 18,000 p; Weight —
A minor ring of spell storing contains up to three levels of spells (either divine or arcane, or even a mix of both spell types) that the wearer can cast. Each spell has a caster level equal to the minimum level needed to cast that spell. The user need not provide any material components or focus to cast the spell, and there is no arcane spell failure chance for wearing armor (because the ring wearer need not gesture). The activation time for the ring is the same as the casting time for the relevant spell, with a minimum of 1 standard action. For a randomly generated ring, treat it as a scroll to determine what spells are stored in it. If you roll a spell that would put the ring over the three-level limit, ignore that roll; the ring has no more spells in it.A spellcaster can cast any spells into the ring, so long as the total spell levels do not add up to more than three. Metamagic versions of spells take up storage space equal to their spell level modified by the metamagic feat. A spellcaster can use a scroll to put a spell into the minor ring of spell storing.
The ring magically imparts to the wearer the names of all spells currently stored within it. CONSTRUCTION Requirements Forge Ring, imbue with spell ability; Cost 9,000 gp
