Ring of Dragons (5e Equipment)
|
Ring, legendary (requires attunement) This ring is made of pure black metal and is in the form of a dragon eating its own tail, with ruby eyes. On the inside of the ring is an inscription that reads:
A legendary knight forged this ring in the breath of every type of dragon. He soon discovered that in the heat of battle, he could summon dragons to his aid. He lived for hundreds of years and fought in countless battles. One fateful day, the knight angered a lich. Later that year, the lich and a shadow dragon attacked the knight. The lich was destroyed in the battle, but not before dealing the knight a mortal wound. The knight summoned a golden dragon with his last breath, and the dragon healed him. The lich's shadow dragon was taken by the ring's beauty, and in this moment of hesitation, the knight struck. When the knight struck with what would have been a killing blow, an unearthly scream rent the air. A vortex formed, sucking the shadow dragon into the ring. Throughout the next few months, the knight heard voices at night that slowly and inexorably drew him into madness. He attempted to destroy the ring, knowing that it was the cause of his madness. However, this attempt failed, and he died. His ring then became lost to the ages. Dragon Consort. You gain a +3 bonus to all Charisma checks when interacting with dragons. While wearing this ring, you can also speak Draconic. Black Wings. You can summon leathery black wings, granting you a flying speed of 45 feet. If you already have a flying speed, it is doubled instead. Black Breath. You can, as an action, unleash a dark breath of destruction in a 120-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw contested against your spell save DC. On a failure, they take 5d10 necrotic damage or half as much damage on a seccess. The item has a number of uses equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. You regain all uses at midnight. Curse. If you are reduced to 5 hit points while wearing this ring, you must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the shadow dragon. Possession. You gain 200 temporary hit points, and are forced to attack any creature in your sight that is not of the chaotic evil alignment. This possession lasts 1 year, after which you die, and the shadow dragon is released. Appearence while Possesed.

Ending Possession. Once a month, you can attempt a DC 19 Charisma saving throw. On a success, you are returned to your original health and all effects of possession end. Then, the ring loses all abilities for 100 years. Alternatively, a greater restoration spell or similar magic ends the possession. |
