Ring of Mental Fortitude

Price (Item Level): 110,000 gp (21st)

Aura: Strong; (DC 22) abjuration

Weight: —

The bumpy, ridged surface of this platinum ring is disturbingly reminiscent of a brain. Small flakes of gold lie within some of the cracks, as if protecting the “brain” from intrusion.

This ring protects the wearer against all mind-affecting spells and abilities as long as it is worn. She need not make any saving throws against these effects; they simply fail to affect her. When the wearer is subjected to a mind-affecting spell or ability, the ring glows with a dim, gray light.

Prerequisites: Forge Ring, mind blank.

Cost to Create: 55,000 gp, 4,400 XP, 110 days.

Not every adventurer possesses the strength of will necessary to defeat menaces that control the mind. Mind flayers, aboleths, and dark spellcasters favor magic that crush the will or control the actions of others. The ring of mental fortitude helps the wearer face down such threats. Description: When the wearer is subjected to a mind-affecting spell or ability, the ring glows with a dim, gray light. This visible signal that a mind-affecting attack has been directed at the wearer is enough to make adventurers prize this ring. Activation: While the ring is worn, its power is continuously active. No action is required on the wearer’s part to ward off the mental attacks of foes. Effect: This ring protects the wearer against all mind-affecting spells and abilities as long as it is worn.
