Ring of Elusive Escape

This ring is constructed of thin wires⁠—​gold and black iron⁠—​wound around each other over and over into a nearly solid band.

When activated, and for 1d4 rounds thereafter, a ring of elusive escape feels as though it is writhing against the skin, as if the wires were constantly sliding over and through each other.

When you are subject to a harmful effect that allows a Reflex save to reduce or negate it (such as a fireball or a dragon’s breath), you can activate a ring of elusive escape to be instantly transported elsewhere, as per dimension door, although the range is limited to 40 feet. This occurs just before the effect resolves, so you are unaffected by it (assuming your destination is outside the area of the effect). When the ring transports you, it also turns you invisible (as the invisibility spell) and leaves behind a major image of yourself. Both of these effects last for 1 round. The image looks as though it has taken damage from the harmful effect and reacts appropriately to further attacks as well, as though you were concentrating on it for the length of its duration.

The ring functions only once per day and resets at midnight.

This is a rarer and more powerful variant of a ring of instant escape.
