[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2069097, member: 141"] I remember that when discussions of a use activated weapon of true strike comes up, it is generally acknowledged that the true strike feature can't be priced as a first level spell; instead, you treat it as a +20 weapon (very, very epic, even if there is no bonus to damage). I think you have to do something similar with the ring. I suggest using [i]mind blank[/i] as the base spell, and see what that does to the cost. [i]Mind blank[/i] gives immunity to most enchantments and divinations, which is roughly as broad as the protection the ring will give to compulsions and summonings. Maybe not worth quite as much; a small discount may be appropriate. In other words, consider it a variant of a ring of mindblanking which also acts like a cloak of protection/ring of protection against evil creatures. You need to be able to cast [i]mind blank[/i], so you'd need a 15th level caster to make it. It's cost would be caster level 15 x spell level 8 x 2000 x 0.5 (since mindblank has a 24 hour duration) = 60 000 gp. Discount it down by 25% or so (because blocking summonings is not as powerful as blocking all divinations), to get 45 000. Joker's calculations indicate that the defensive bonuses are worth about 10 000 gp. I would say that this power should be multiplied by 1.5, since this is a different ability that can work simulataneously with the other powers. So about 15 000. That gives a final total of 60 000 gp. More than a pair of Friend Shield rings or a ring of spell storing (both 50 000), but less than a ring of telekinesis (75 000) and substantially less than a ring of regeneration (90 000). Does that seem about right? [/QUOTE]
