Ring, legendary (requires attunement) A golden ring with an inscription that when in fire translates to "One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." The ring has no definite shape and can change its size to fit the wearer. The ring has a level of malevolent sentience, giving it a neutral evil alignment. Power of the Ring. The One Ring grants the user a massive amount of power. While the user wears the ring their lifespan becomes indefinite, until life becomes too tiresome for the user. Dread Incarnate. The Ring also makes the user give off an aura that makes them appear more powerful to others, giving them +5 Intimidation. Though the form the bearer will be seen as is unclear, previous ring bearers have appeared as a warrior cloaked in shadow, or a figure robed in white holding a wheel of fire. Often the form will inspire fear in creatures that are not skilled in magic, causing them to flee. Only those with truesight can see through the illusion. Ghost. While wearing the Ring, the user is able to become effectively invisible. The wearer casts only a thin shaky shadow that is only discernible in the brightest of sunlight. However, the use of this ability does not come without risk, as the ring's use will attract the Nazgul, also known as ring wraiths or dark riders. These riders seek the one ring for their master, Sauron (or the evil master in your campaign), and will kill anyone or thing that stands between them and the ring. It should be noted also that those who can see the non-physical realm, can still see the wearer, such as the Nazgul. These powers of the ring are the few known to mortals, as most mortals cannot access the true potential of the ring, due to their weak minds and wills. It would take a disciplined, well-trained mind with great native power for one to even begin to tap into the true power of the ring. Even still, it would take time to master the ring in order to become as powerful as someone like Sauron. Ethereal Stallion. With the Ring, the user may also summon a nightmare.
