[QUOTE="SongCoyote, post: 1708319, member: 23020"] Hi Hyp, and thanks for the response! On your (anti-)recommendation, I looked at Tome and Blood, and what's there is indeed a pile of over-complicated hooey (no offense to the author - it's just hard to use). Unfortunately the real purpose - now revealed! - for my question remains unanswered, as it is a spell storing item that is my primary concern. The character in question has an item that lets her store a spell of up to 4th level, and she typically has the party's wizard put Stoneskin in it. Let me guess the two sides of the debate of which you speak: [list=1] [*]The Ring of Spell Storing description repeatedly uses the word "cast", which means that the user of the ring casts the spell (which means that it can be shared). [*]The use of the word "cast" in the decsription is misleading; using the ring is activating a magic item's power, not casting a spell (which means it cannot be shared). [/list] Assuming my guess is accurate, it seems to me that one of the big differences between casting and activating is how easy it is to do in combat. Being able to simply take a standard action with no AoO to put Stoneskin on yourself is pretty nasty - being able to spread it to your mount as well may be a bit much. Of course, I like to let my players get away with a fair amount of unusual stuff; I just want to get a more "official" idea of how to adjudicate this as it may make a significant difference in this player's tactics. Thanks again for your time. Have fun! Light and laughter, SongCoyote [/QUOTE]
