[QUOTE="Apok, post: 580412, member: 1969"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Ring of alterself[/b] Primarily because, in the case of the Alter Self ring but you can use any ring that uses a spell and is Command Activated, the way it should logically work (a dangerous statement, I know, since not everyone follows the same logic) is that the ring's effect would last as long as the spell normally would if cast by a caster of the item's level. For example, a Ring of Invisibility has a caster level of 3. So, every time you activate the ring you become Invisible for 30 minutes. True, you can reactivate the ring at any time to "refresh" the effect but using this logic allows you to answer questions like, "What happens if my ring is on and I'm knocked unconscious or killed or otherwise incapacitated?" Does the effect last forever? I'm inclined to say "no" and assume that the ring would work as the spell cast at the items caster level if the character is unable to reactivate the ring. This line of thinking doesn't apply to rings who's abilities are automatically active when worn (Water Walking, Elemental Resistance, Mind Shielding, etc). Of course, in the case of Alter Self, the spell specifically states that it ends if the character dies. [/QUOTE]
