[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 3291632, member: 1164"] Thanks for that attempt, but Gravestrike will give no benefit when cast from a ring of spell storing. Gravestrike has a swift casting time which allows the caster to make attacks before the duration of 1 round is over, which is right before his next turn starts. A spell in a [I]ring of spell storing[/I] has a minimum casting time of 1 standard action. You would have a move action in which to gain you sneak attack against the undead then your turn ends and you get to sit there and suck unless some dumb undead draws an AoO in a sneak attack situation. Wotc balanced [I]Grave Strike [/I] reasonably well. One of the few ways to abuse it is to multiclass and carry a LOT of [I]pearls of power [/I] to recall the spell to memory. [I]Spell Storing, Minor: A minor ring of spell storing contains up to three levels of spells that the wearer can cast. Each spell has a caster level equal to the minimum level needed to cast that spell. The user need not provide any material components or focus, or pay an XP cost to cast the spell, and there is no arcane spell failure chance for wearing armor (because the ring wearer need not gesture). [B]The activation time for the ring is same as the casting time for the relevant spell, with a minimum of 1 standard action.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
