RINGS
These rings carry potent effects associated with the Great Beyond. Anyone can use a ring, but a character can gain the benefits of only two magic rings at a time.

Description
This gold ring resembles tiny angel wings folded around a clear crystal. Once per day, the wearer can target herself with a protection from chaos or protection from law effect that lasts for 10 minutes. However, if the wearer uses the ring of entropy and order to gain protection from chaos while on a plane with the mildly chaos-aligned or strongly chaos-aligned trait, or to gain protection from law while on a plane with the mildly law-aligned or strongly law-aligned trait, the effect instead lasts for 1 hour. If the wearer fails a saving throw against a charm or compulsion effect while on a plane with the mildly chaos-aligned, mildly law-aligned, strongly chaos-aligned, or strongly law-aligned traits, she can activate the effect as an immediate action.

Ring of Planar Focus
Source Planar Adventures pg. 49
Aura strong divination CL 15th
Slot ring; Price 4,000 gp; Weight —
Description
This large silver ring has a massive setting for a cloudy white crystal about an inch in diameter. Once per week as a standard action, the wearer can tap the ring with a forked rod attuned to a specific plane (the focus for a plane shift spell). When tapped, the crystal transforms into a rough topographical map of the plane in question for 1 minute. The wearer can manipulate the crystal to focus on a single specific location within the plane, although the topographical elements remain rough and display only large or well-known features around the desired location. If the wearer has been to that location personally, she can focus the crystal on the location in 1 full round. Otherwise, she can attempt a DC 15 Knowledge (planes) check to focus on a location of her choice as a full-round action. This location must be a public or well-known area, such as a public plaza in the Common Quarter in the City of Brass. Obscure locations (such as Calistria’s private Garden of Hidden Fruits) or locations controlled by a divinity cannot be focused on—in all cases, the GM has final say on whether a region can be focused upon.
If the wearer casts plane shift to travel to the focused location while the map is active, she arrives without error at the site, rather than 5d% miles away. Once a ring of planar focus is used to aid a casting of plane shift, it becomes inactive for 24 hours.
Construction
Requirements Forge Ring, discern location; Cost 2,000 gp
Soultether Ring
Source Planar Adventures pg. 49
Aura strong necromancy CL 17th
Slot ring; Price 8,000 gp; Weight —
Description
When the wearer of this delicate platinum ring dies, his soul remains adrift in the River of Souls and does not proceed to its final judgment in the Boneyard. Until the soultether ring is removed from the corpse, the time limit for restoring the creature to life via spells such as raise dead or resurrection is suspended. This ring has no effect if it is placed upon a corpse; it must be worn at the time the creature dies to tether its soul. Psychopomps and other followers of Pharasma consider soultether rings to be sacrilegious, and the creatures destroy the rings whenever possible.
Construction
Requirements Forge Ring; soul bind or true resurrection; Cost 4,000 gp
