D&D 5E [D&D 5E] Pirates of the Spheres: Captain's Privilege (Recruiting)

Hmmm,

I unfortunately will have to let go of the flying boots (bye bye flying pirate) and go with the ring of mind shielding.

Here is what I propose: The ring was created during the fourth Dragonslayer war by priests of a god of knowledge, and currently contains the soul of a priest of knowledge (as per the item description, it can contain a soul). The priest chose to have his soul stay in the ring when he died at the hands of the empire, his god having passed from the world due to the lack of followers. He has seen the dragons hunt down Humans across generation, and refuses to leave for the afterword while his brethren are in danger.
The priest was human, and has seen many generations of wearers, many of these being from Albathar's family, including his grandfather and father. To Albathar, the ring is a family heirloom, and the spirit a mentor.
The ring was lost when Albathar's parent's were killed when he was a child. However, the ancient Fey entity with whom he made a warlock pact was a friend and ally of the dead god, and gave back the ring to Albathar, earning his eternal gratitude and his vow to fight the dragons.

This is the stuff I need your approval for: If acceptable, the spirit in the ring helps Albathar with information (in game terms, the spirit has a few knowledge skills (History & religion seem the most appropriate), and can share some information with Albathar when appropriate). I'll let you tell me what you're comfortable with as far as mechanics are concerned (for example, can the spirit "help" on insight checks, because of the high wisdom of the priest?). Since this is mostly for RPing, please let me know what boundaries you feel are relevant.
Also, if ok: Minor property (as per the DMG table): guardian (the item grants +2 to initiative by warning the wearer of danger.

What do you think?
Cheers,

SG

Ah, right, this. I will take a gander through the magic items rules tomorrow as well. I don't foresee too many problems with this, though.

I never read the last paragraph of that ring, neat stuff! learned something new!

I'm still here. Man these new guys are some hardcore, post-flinging players! Took me half an hour to read all the new posts in this thread.

I hear you, I've tried to keep my posts to minimum and Dm queries only, it is difficult when you are new and wanting to learn how/what to do regarding sheets, and post.


(edited into my previous post to minimize post count :))

-------------------------------------------------------
secondary to edit, edit: Mayhaps we could have a post for replying to others by just editting it and using the Quote or Mention feature, and keeping clutter to bare minimum...might need a recode to redirect to specific post and not to the thread in general :)

Just touching base generally. I added a pic to my character as well. I noticed you've re-added the "recruiting" label to your title. I'm pretty sure you HAD taken it down, so does that mean I no longer need to be on the waiting list, or shall I just hold my breath?

Ah, disregard. I've counted number of character sheets and there are eight aside from mine. All good. :)
