[QUOTE="Gnome, post: 4964350, member: 27530"] My group freed a noble djinn, and earned 3 boons from him. It wasn't conventional wishes, exactly, but the same idea. The group debated asking for a ship, so the Genie offered a magical ship the size of a model ship that expands when a command word is spoken, and contracts when the word is spoken backwards. For the second boon, they asked for a one-shot item to help them get out of a tough scrape, so they got a figurine of an air elemental that can be used once to help in a fight. For the third boon, they asked for wealth, and since the party is only second level, I didn't want to hand out overwhelming amounts of treasure, so I had the Genie instead offer a magical ring to the party of unknown properties, but guaranteed to not be cursed. The party agreed, and took the ring instead of wealth. The only problem is that I don't know what kind of ring to say that it is when they get it identified. It's not my goal to cheat the party - I'd like it to turn out to be something they think is cool. Two things, though: I want it to be an item that doesn't make a PC too powerful in combat, and I'd like it to be something that can somehow benefit the whole party, not just the person who gets to wear it. Any suggestions from the creative folks here? If it helps, the party is 2nd-level, and this is a high-magic and high-fantasy game. The party consists of a elf barbarian, a half-elf rogue, a half-orc druid, a halfling sorcerer, and a gnome bard. Oh,a nd we are playing using the Pathfinder rules. I'm not afraid of making-up a new ring type, btw ... and I also toyed with the idea of making the ring intelligent, if I can come-up with a basic idea for what it could do. [/QUOTE]
