Ring of Evasion

[moriarty777]

Here's one that needs clarification (which could lead to errata):

The description for Ring of Evasion states that the ring "continually grants the wearer the ability to avoid damage by dodging. The wearer must make a dexterity save whenever attacked. If the save is failed, the wearer takes half damage; a successful save results in no damage at all."

Now I know that this version of the ring in 3.x refers to the Evasion ability and that this would not include physical attacks. However, with the way it is worded in the M&T book, one can assume that the ring is beneficial to all attacks.

So... officially speaking... which one is it? And if it is deemed as errata or that clarification is needed, can we get it added to the list?

You're right, the ring is vastly overpowered. I did not write all the treasures, so I can't say which way it was intended, but I would say I would never let the ring do what it says it does. At best, I would give it a constant evade (as the maneuver) which gives a +4 AC, making it, technically, the equivalent of a shield +3.
