Bone Ring

Seemingly fragile and nearly weightless, this ring appears to be a single long finger bone, bleached white and somehow bent into a circle.

While wearing a bone ring, you are protected from energy drain and ability drain (but not ability damage). A bone ring has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Every negative level or point of ability drain prevented uses 1 charge. For example, a successful slam attack from a vampire, which normally bestows two negative levels, instead drains 2 charges from the ring.

Prerequisites: Forge Ring, death ward.

Cost to Create: 10,000 gp, 800 XP, 20 days.

Source: Magic Item Compendium, page 75. Replaced negative energy protection with death ward in the Prerequisites entry, since the former spell does not seem to exist. (There’s protection from negative energy in the Spell Compendium, but that really isn’t effective against energy drain.)
