Ring of Regeneration Questions

[Dagger75]

Am I reading this item right...

Basically the item casts Regenerate on the wearer all the time. Does this mean when I get hit I heal 1d8+15 points of damage per round? Caster level of Ring of Regenration is 15 thats were I got the 1d8+15.

Also if your wearing the ring and that darn Vorpal sword hit you do you grow your head back and get right back up to fight?

Thanks

Read the description of the ring. That's what it does.

Unlike in previous editions, it won't bring you back if you die.

Regeneration

This white gold ring continually allows a living wearer to heal 1 point of damage per level every hour rather than every day. (This ability cannot be aided by the Heal skill.) Subdual damage heals at a rate of 1 point of damage per level every 5 minutes. If the wearer loses a limb, an organ, or any other body part while wearing this ring, the ring regenerates it like the spell. In either case, only damage taken while wearing the ring is regenerated.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Forge Ring, regenerate; Market Price: 90,000 gp.

You are reading it wrong since it states in the first 2 lines what the item does. It allows the wearer to regain 1hp per level per hour instead of day. And subdual damage heals at the rate of 1hp per level per 5 minutes. If the wearer loses a limb, organ, or any other body part it regrows it as if the wearer had regenerate cast on them. And only damage taken while wearing it is healed.

In any case even though it says any other body part I would say decapitation is instant death. Sure the head would grow back but umm, you'd still be dead.

Basically the item casts Regenerate on the wearer all the time.

"Basically" is a very shaky word here. Yes, you could say that, in that the ring allows lost limbs to be regrown "as the spell." But that's the only reference to the spell the ring's description makes. It would be a mistake to assume that the ring has the other effects of the spell (in particular, healing d8+level hit points, when the description of the ring specifically says otherwise).

Re: Re: Ring of Regeneration Questions

What does it mean "rather than 1 point per day"? A character is supposed to heal 1 point per level per day. Is the ring supposed to heal that per hour instead?

Honestly, 24 hp per day is rather trivial at medium to high levels.

It doesn't say "1 point per day" anywhere. The line is "heal 1 point of damage per level every hour rather than every day". So a 15th lvl character would heal 15 hp an hour while wearing the ring. 24 pts per level of healing in a day is not really trivial at most levels.

After getting home and checking the book I completely missed that whole line. Well don't I look stupid

Heh, speaking of looking stupid; missed that "per level every hour" bit myself. Sorry for the waste of bandwidth.

(Though I still maintain that 24 points of healing in a day is rather trivial. It's very easy to take that much in a 6 second span.)

24 points per level. At 15th level that's 360 points per day.

You're still missing that line See previous post by Artoomis.
