Ring of Protection: A ring of protection improves the wearer's Armor Class value and saving throws versus all forms of
attack. A ring +1 betters AC by 1 (say, from 10 to 9) and gives a bonus of +1 on saving throw
die rolls. The magical properties of a ring of protection are cumulative with all other magical items of protection except as follows:
1. The ring does not improve Armor Class if magical armor is worn, although it
does add to saving throw die rolls.
2. Multiple rings of protection operating on the same person, or in the same area, do not combine protection.
Only one such ring—the strongest—functions, so a pair of protection rings +2 provides only +2 protection.
To determine the value of a protection ring, use the following table:
D100
Roll
Level of Protection
01-70
+1
71-82
+2
83
+2, 5-foot radius protection
84-90
+3
91
+3, 5-foot radius protection
92-97
+4 on AC, +2 to saving throws
98-00
+6 on AC, +1 to saving throws
The radius bonus of 5 feet extends to all creatures within its circle, but
applies only to their saving throws (i.e., only the ring wearer gains Armor Class
additions).
