RING OF FIST |
The Ring Of Fist was created for thieves and the like for protection when all weapons are taken or not available. This ring is usable by any character class.
The Ring Of Fist is a normal-looking ring, often overlooked by treasure hunters. Once the magical properties are known, the wearer, at will, can use the ring to magically cover the hand it is worn on. If the wearer uses the hand as a shield and uses no weapon in the other hand, the advantages are the same in hand-to-hand combat as a shield (+1 to AC).
If used as a weapon, the Ring does 1-4 +1 of non-lethal damage (target will be knocked unconscious instead of being dead at 0 HP). If the wearer wishes, than the ring will do lethal damage at 1-6 +1. There are no pluses to Attack offered by the ring.
When the ring is being
used, it is not noticeable to the naked eye it's powers. A detect magic
spell or ability will show a magical glow over the person's hand who
wields the ring and is using the powers. A detect magic spell/ability used
when the ring is not in use will only reveal a faint, or dim trace of
magic in the natural form of the ring.
