Ring of the White Wyrm

This ring is fashioned from the tooth of a great wyrm white dragon.

A ring of the white wyrm can produce the following effects on command:

• Icewalking (at will): As spider climb, but the surfaces the wearer climbs must be icy.
• Freezing fog (2/day): This effect also causes a rime of slippery ice to form on any surface the fog touches, creating the effect of a grease spell. The wearer of the ring is immune to the grease effect because of the icewalking power the ring imparts.
• Wall of ice (1/day)

In addition, the wearer gains the ability to speak and understand the Draconic language as long as the ring is worn, and the ring grants the wearer resistance to cold 10.

The primary function of the ring, however, is to infuse the wearer with the energy and power of a dragon. Once per day, the wearer may call upon the ring to transform herself into a half-dragon. This is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, and the transformation lasts for 1 hour. While transformed, the wearer gains the following benefits:

• +4 natural armor bonus to AC.
• Bite and claw attacks as a half-dragon of the same size as the wearer.
• Breath weapon usable once per transformation (30-ft. cone, 3d6 cold damage, Reflex DC 16 half).
• Immunity to cold.
• +8 Strength, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma. These bonuses are considered racial bonuses and stack with other racial bonuses the wearer may have.

The ring’s transformation power also changes the wearer’s appearance into a draconic form. The wearer’s general shape and size does not change, although her equipment is altered in shape so it can still be utilized. Unlike polymorph, the user’s equipment does not merge with the new form; it remains in place and fully functional while the user is in half-dragon form. Dragons and half-dragons cannot benefit from the effects of the ring’s transformation powers, although they can utilize the ring’s other abilities.

Rumors abound that other rings exist that are keyed to different dragons, granting different powers.
