This item was inspired by the Buffyverse. I'd like to thank Joss Whedon, without whom none of this would've been possible. :smallwink:
The Ring of Amarra
The Ring of Amarra is a holy grail, or sorts, to the vampiric world, and those who attempt to enter it. Lost for centuries, seemingly resurfacing when the time is right, this small silver ring has a mystical gem at its centre, which shifts from emerald green, to deep, blood red, once it has been put on by a wearer who can use its abilities.
The Ring of Amarra can only be utilised by a vampire, half-vampire, or vampire spawn. When put on, a variety of abilities are endowed upon the vampiric wearer. The ring-wielding vampire becomes impervious to the effects of sunlight, allowing him to freely utilise all his abilities in daylight, as he would at night, with no penalty, and no disintegration. He also becomes immune to the effects of a stake through the heart (which now heals like any normal wound), is only psychologically repulsed by garlic, and only needs to spend half the normal time resting in a coffin. Running water is still a problem, but less so, a vampire wearing The Ring of Amarra can cross running water if he passes a DC20 Will Save. If not, he cannot attempt to cross running water again for the next week.
The Ring of Amarra ceases to work every Midsummer's Day, for a whole day. During that time, it is merely a typical ring, granting no powers to its wearer. Many a vampire has been destroyed by being out in sunlight, unaware that the ring ceases to work on that day.
The Ring of Amarra is completely destroyed by pure positive energy - only the energy from the highest level of Celestia, or that of the true Positive Energy Plane - but the energy must be direct from the plane, not re-produced, or a re-directed, by some kind of spell.
This is my first homebrew. If this item is well-liked, as well as my homebrewing skills, I will attempt to make more things for this board. Thank you. :smallwink:
