I have what may be a dumb question, but here goes:
I rolled up some random treasure for a vampiric sorcerer my players will have to face in this next weekends adventure, and I rolled up a Ring of the Darkhidden. For fun, and because it made morse sense, I let the Sorcerer use it.
However, one of the players is a Dwarf, and I got to thinking, won't that mean the ring will make the vampire invisible as far as the dwarf is concerned? That would be cool, since I didn't plan it, but on the otherhand, isn't that a little powerful? How would that work, since it isn't activated. So, is the vampire just improved invisible vs. dark vision creatures while this ring is in effect? You can't destroy the ring with magic (at this low level, they are around level 7 or so) and I know dispel magic won't make the ring not operate, will it? What will see invis do if it was cast? What will happen when the vampire takes an action?
I looked in the players book under the Race section for Dwarves, it didn't indicate Dwarves can see in "normal" vision, so I would assume no way around it like that, but even if there was a way around it like that, most creatures that see in darkvision don't have that sort of way around it (they see ONLY in darkvision) so suddenly this ring becomes way to powerful? Or am I missing something really obvious (probably)?
The Ring of the Darkhidden is from Magic of Faerun, and it allows the wearer to be invisible to darkvision, by the way. It isn't a super powerful ring (only about 3rd on the chart) and I rolled up 1 random medium item just for kicks for the players (this will be a *rough* fight actually) and I can always roll again and discard the ring, but I wanted to find out if there was another way first (I like the ring, and thought it would be fun, but yikes on further inspection.....)
