Rings, 4 (d100)

Enough rings and bands to wear three on every finger and toe while still having dozens to spare. Rings, especially magic rings are a very common item of jewelry in fiction and roleplaying. From a basic ring of protection, to the life saving ring of regeneration, the ring of the Nibelungs, the rings of the lantern corps, the ring of Gyges, any wedding ring ever depicted, the ring of Solomon, Sir Perceval’s ring, Aladdin’s genie housing ring, the nine rings of mortal men and the precious one ring of power, these small circular pieces of gems, metal, wood or bone always add more to the story than the sum of their parts. None of these rings are intensely magical in their own right but can serve as basis for a magical or plot relevant ring. When a DM rolls a d100, the bog standard ring of protection +1 they were going to give out now has a unique look and personality rather than just a mechanical benefit.

d100 Result

1

A large stone ring all flecked with stripes of red, blue and brown. Odd as it seems, the ring has only one edge; a finger drawn along that edge would circle inside and out before coming back to where it began. It grants the wearer pleasant dreams.

2

A thick iron ring featuring a square onyx set into it wreathed in several tiny smoky quartz.

3

A ring comprised of two woven bands, one of copper and one of silver. The ring is studded with sapphires which shine brightly during a thunderstorm.

4

A ring forged of silver and worked in braided spirals.

5

A heavy copper ring that whenever turned sideways, pours out a small measure of dust.

6

A ring made from rare red-gold inscribed with intricate and interlocking sigils.

7

A porcelain ring bound by the image of an angelic creature. Upon its face is one of pure passion and rage.

8

A relatively small ring bearing both the symbols and crest of House Amber, a sinister and mysterious family that fled to their current estate from another realm.  It has a clean sheen reflecting off its brass surface and looks well cared for.

9

A plain pewter ring set with a humble red garnet.

10

Casanova Ring: A dark walnut ring is engraved with a rose vine design. The bearer can instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom.

11

A steel signet ring with a small compartment containing a poison pill.

12

A ring with a miniscule lockbox in its setting. Both the ring and the setting are plain, black alloy, save for a small, square sodalite cabochon set in the lid. A key of extraordinarily small proportion would be required to open said lid.

13

Ring of Black Thumbs: A black ring covered with an elvish, silver script. When worn on any finger, it turns the bearer’s thumbs a pale, blackish color, and small plant life that comes into contact with them shrivels and dies.

14

A dark-red ring engraved with ashen symbols and smells faintly of smoke.

15

A gold ring set with a sparkling diamond that changes color to perfectly match the favorite color of the person holding it. It’s clear when not being held.

16

A gold ring adorned with small jewels on the outside and cryptic lettering on the inner band.

17

An iron full finger ring set with a large eye agate.

18

A thick wooden ring flecked with diamond dust and carved with images of wild animals.

19

A heavy golden signet ring belonging to a defunct noble family.

20

A ring of jade carved into the shape of a snake.

21

A dark blue gem set into a dull silver ring that sounds like the ocean when shaken.

22

An intricately-carved white gold ring with three sapphires on top. These sapphires emit a faint glow when the ring is worn by a spellcaster. The detailed elven scrolling on the side tells an old poem about a brave hero who, being a sorcerer, conquered a dark cult that was plaguing a small town.

23

A copper-colored ring engraved with a variety of different types of ammunition all around the interior and exterior.

24

A ring that appears to have been crafted out of the skull of a small rodent or bat. When placed on one’s finger the jaws of the deceased vermin clamp firmly in place ensuring a snug, but not constrictive fit.

25

A silvered ring with a strip of stone in the centre, which changes colour based on the bearer’s mood. The actual meaning of each colour is highly debatable.

26

A copper ring with a small clear gem that shimmers slightly even in the dark. It is badly crafted with scuffs and scratches along the loop and yet there is something quaint about it that suggests more value than the first impression would suggest.

27

A ring made of white ivory with two red jewels that resemble the eyes of a mouse.

28

A ring made of gold, delicate and fragile in appearance. It loops twice around the finger and then ends in a flourish which appears to be a flower in abstract.

29

A dark grey ring. The band is weathered and mottled. Set in it is a cracked black jewel that shimmers when it catches the light.

30

A silver ring whose band is decorated with tree and mountain motifs. It is inlaid with a milky white jewel.

31

A large, ostentatious ring set with a gaudy , bright Roll on "Bright Colour Table" jewel. The bearer can detach the gem atop the ring and pull forth a length of extremely fine, tough wire that can be used to strangle an opponent. When used in this fashion the ring functions the same as a standard garrote.

32

A diamond ring that appears harmless during casual observation. The stone is attached to a special hinge that allows it to be flipped in its setting, revealing a point that can be used to cut panes of glass (Up to 1 inch thick) for the purposes of breaking and entering. Curling glass can be a time consuming process. It takes 1 minute per quarter-inch thickness to cut a hole large enough for a medium character to slip through.

33

A blue steel ring that is cool to the touch. When the bearer is holding any beverage in the same hand as the one with the ring, the beverage becomes frosty and refreshing.

34

A pure silver ring set with a clear gemstone that imprisons a malicious soul.

35

A ring made of polished marble set with a single small gem.

36

A silver ring whose band is fashioned to resemble a chain of tiny humanoid figures, locked arm in arm.

37

A ring made of flawless, highly polished electrum.

38

A thick Roll on "Random Colour Table" ring is made of polished ceramic.

39

A ring made of polished dark wood, with a large diamond held in a carved hand.

40

A wide bronze ring is carved with images of food and drink. While wearing the band, the bearer never feels hunger or thirst. The ring does not provide any sort of magical sustenance, simply snuffs out the bearer’s sensations to seek out food and drink. This effect ends the moment the ring is removed.

41

An obviously cheap looking ring with a brass band set with a piece of opaque Roll on "Random Colour Table" glass. Careful inspection will discover that the ring has a hinged section around the glass allowing it to be opened to reveal a small compartment. This area can be used to store the arcane components for one spell so long as they aren’t too bulky. This ring’s compartment can be opened or closed with an action equivalent to drawing a weapon. This ensures that a mage has an excellent way to always have a vital spell’s material components on hand.

42

A claw-shaped ring clutching a Roll on "Random Colour Table"  gem, taken from a land of ash and darkness.

43

A small corroded iron ring bearing a clear crystal affixed to the center, with rotating prongs affixing it to the band.

44

A simple wooden ring adorned by a small river stone, worn smooth. It shines beautifully in natural sunlight.

45

A wooden ring bearing the insignia of an open palm behind a stylized bumblebee.

46

A ring set with a grey pearl that is very loosely fitted. Any character proficient with jeweler’s tools can easily remove the pearl and set it within a different piece of jewelry. The pearl itself is wrinkly, almost lumpy, and oblong.

47

A gold ring fashioned in the shape of an ivy vine. The leaf pattern is beautifully enamelled in a dark, lustrous green.

48

A cold iron ring bearing the emblem of a pair of crossed swords.

49

A thick wooden ring flecked with diamond dust and carved with images of various wild animals.

51

A finger-ring of gold with a pendent grape cluster of amethyst ‘fruit’ and jade 'leaves’, threaded on golden wire such that the cluster can swing and lie freely.

52

A golden signet ring so massive that is almost not wearable. Its bezel bears a design of a rampant stag over a crescent moon, and each shank is topped by a sapphire.

53

A thin platinum finger-ring, twined round with a tiny golden snake carrying a pearl egg in its mouth.

54

A nine-sided, blue gem mounted in a platinum base on a plain, half-inch platinum ring. Inside the band is a string of letters, with “Gaxx” the only legible word.

55

An extraordinary piece of jewellery cut from a single piece of raw ruby using a method far beyond the abilities of even a master jeweller. The large ring appears smooth at first but on closer inspection is cut with many thousands of minuscule facets.

56

A beautifully smooth and well-wrought gold-and-obsidian ring with a bright red bad with flecks of silver running around the centre, which appears like constantly swirling liquid when the ring is placed on the finger.

57

An opalescent mother-of-pearl full finger ring with seemingly constantly-shifting colours. The band slips neatly over the dominant finger on the bearer’s main hand.

58

A ragged, thin and grisly ring of soft leather, carved from the neck of an adult Yeth Hound and covered in tufts of deep grey fur.

59

A dented copper ring with a barely legible emblem of a soaring bird. Perceptive PC’s discover the mark to actually be a set of crossed daggers.

60

A medium-sized opal set into a silver band. The gem is black with veins of red, giving it a somewhat fiendish appearance.

61

A plain, thin golden ring is too small for a typical finger and stops a quarter inch shy of being a complete band; it has rounded ends on either side of the gap. It functions perfectly well as a nose piercing.

62

A golden signet ring bearing the symbol of a two‐headed falcon.

63

A gold band set with three deep violet stones (Amethysts) with an inscription on the underside. Careful inspection of the ring reveals it to be the phrase, “Enduring as the Mountain” written in Dwarven.

Knowledgeable PC’s recognize the heraldic symbol embossed on the ring as that of the Tinsors, an old family famed for its eldritch knights.

96

An ebony ring embossed with delicate inked roses. A single amber jewel is set into the centre. A small fang is etched into the amber jewel. The fang is surrounded by bolts of lightning. The arcana rune for “light” is etched into the inside of the ring.

Poison Ring: A large but stylish ring that has a reservoir that can hold a single dose of poison. To deliver the poison, the bearer must flip down a tiny, hollow needle so that it protrudes from the palm side of the ring, then successfully touch the target’s skin. This is typically through a firm handshake or forceful clap on the arm or shoulder, the pressure of these actions helps disguise the pinprick of the needle. Locking the needle into place requires a free hand and an action equivalent to drawing a weapon, but the bearer tends to look rather suspicious fussing with the ring. An incredibly perceptive observer can notice the needle protruding from the wearer’s palm but most will be oblivious. The needle deals no damage on a successful touch but delivers the poison fully each time. A pricked victim can attempt to make a sense motive or insight check with disadvantage to recognize that they were injured or that something is amiss.
