Day 5 – Five Golden Rings
Merry Fifth Day of Christmas!
Presenting for B/X D&D: Five Golden Rings!
These rings, fashioned by a powerful wizard for her most loyal companions, bind the ring-wearers together by means of magical effects that each can use via a command word. Like all magical rings, one of the Five Golden Rings “must be worn on a hand to have the given effects, but may be carried and put on when desired” (Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Advenure Game Expert Rulebook, page X49).
Five Golden Rings: The wearer of one of these rings can use locate object once per hour, but only to locate any one of the other four rings. Once per day, the wearer can use clairvoyance to see through the eyes of anyone wearing one of the other rings. By spending one round concentrating, the wearer can “shift” the clairvoyance to a different ring-wearer, doing so any number of times until the effect ends (after 12 turns or until dispelled or negated). The wearer can transfer up to 8 of his own hit points to another ring-bearer by touching the recipient for one round. This power can be used once per day.
