Any Way to Get Away When Prone?

[KarinsDad]

Do you honestly think that characters can move at full speed while prone or something?

I'm having trouble understanding your position. Do you simply dislike the "provoking an AoO for crawling or standing up" rule that was added to 3.5?

I'm merely pointing out that nowhere does it state that Stand From Prone or Crawling are the only two move/movement options available when prone.

In fact, it does not state that you can Crawl from Prone.

People are making these assumptions, but there are no explicit rules about it.

And since there are other positions that you can be in (e.g. sitting or kneeling), I'm merely suggesting that the rules are a bit incomplete in this regard.

I suppose you are basically taking the reading where the ring is continuously active, and makes you effectively a spellcaster while the ring is worn, with a spells prepared list consisting of that which is in the ring at this moment.

More like a continuous Imbue With Spell Ability effect, but not limited to certain cleric schools.

It doesn't make you 'a spellcaster' or add spells to your class list, but it does give you some spells you can cast.

Which leads to an interesting question - would wearing the ring grant you the ability to use a wand of a spell that is currently stored in the ring?

I'd rule no, since you can only use wands of spells on your class list. I wouldn't let a fighter who was carrying a Cure Light Wounds around courtesy of Imbue With Spell Ability use a wand of CLW either.

Also - it makes a ring of spell storing priceless to a Mage of the Arcane Order - pull a spell from the SpellPool, cast it into the ring. You now have that spell stored in a manner where it can be maintained indefinately, but is treated as a normal spell you can cast. Make a scroll of the spell in the ring using up the spell from the ring itself. Here the Wizard and Sorceror diverge - Wizard scribes it into a spellbook, gaining a known spell for the cost of the scribing and the scroll...

Don't think it works.

A spell prerequisite may be provided by a character who has prepared the spell (or who knows the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard), or through the use of a spell completion or spell trigger magic item or a spell-like ability that produces the desired spell effect.

You haven't prepared the spell. You don't know the spell. The ring is neither a spell completion item nor a spell trigger item.

The ring allows you to cast the spell, but casting the spell is not required for crafting. Preparing or knowing the spell is... or else supplying it from a spell trigger or spell completion item, neither of which describes the ring.
