Deadwalker’s Ring

This ring is carved from humanoid bone. It always feels faintly cold to the touch.

Whenever the ring is active, it rotates around the wearer’s finger of its own accord and gives off faint creaking sounds, like the clacking of the walking dead.

You must wear a deadwalker’s ring for at least 24 consecutive hours in order for it to function. It requires no specific action to activate. Instead, it automatically functions each time you cast a spell that creates undead, up to a maximum of three times per day.

While you wear the ring, any undead you create by a spell (such as animate dead) gain +2 hit points per HD. This benefit doesn’t stack with the extra hit points granted by the desecrate spell.

Prerequisites: Forge Ring, animate dead or desecrate.

Cost to Create: 2,000 gp, 160 XP, 4 days.
