Rings of dodging were enchanted rings that made their wearer quicker and more nimble.[1]

Description[]

Some of these rings often were simple polished golden bands that flickered with faint magical glimmer.[1] Others were intricately decorated with an image of a golden hummingbird inlaid with jade and sapphires.[2]

Powers[]

Ring of Dodging

Death is narrowly avoided thanks to a ring of dodging.

Rings of dodging possessed several enchantments. They increased the wearer's defense by the way of agility, increased their reflexes and dexterity, and made them move faster in the heat of battle.[1]

Some versions of these rings had more limited scope. Only able to be activated three times per day, these rings only affected one opponent, making the wearer more nimble in combat against that creature, while other opponents remained unaffected. Additionally, this version of rings of dodging gave the wearer enhance ability to dodge and resist magical spells.[3]

History[]

In the 14th century DR, these rings were primarily found in the the Dalelands, where most guilds often possessed one.[4]

In the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR, a ring of dodging could be found in the possession of the Cult of the Dragon, in the Elven Catacombs of Myth Drannor, among other looted magic items.[1] Another ring of dodging was acquired by the tressym named Tara for her friend Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep in the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR.[2]
