Philosopher's Stone
Flurry of blows attacks deal +1 damage as Cold.
When the monk makes ranged attacks or uses a melee weapon that is not flurry of blows-compatible, this item does not provide bonus damage. “Distant melee attacks” made with Gloves of the Flying Fists are compatible with Ring of Icy Ki.
Once per game, the wearer may choose any one of these effects:
- +2 healing with one healing spell (not scroll or item) cast
- +2 Damage with one melee attack
- +2 Damage with one spell (not scroll or item) attack
Once per room, the character wearing this ring ignores any potential Damage Reduction magic or ability of the monster for the first successful attack. Thus the first successful attack causes the full calculated damage. The nature of the Damage Reduction this ring bypasses can be physical or magical/energy. E.g., it could ignore resistance to Fire attacks vs. a Fire enhanced weapon, so if the weapon caused three extra points of Fire damage per attack, but the creature was immune,
Physical damage inflicted upon the wearer by Undead monsters’ natural attacks (claw, bite, etc.) is reduced by 50%. This ring does not mitigate damage caused when Undead attack with a spell or with a hand-held weapon (e.g., sword, dagger, arrow, etc.)
All the wearer’s melee attacks and/or damage-spells deal +1 Damage, but the wearer may only equip rings of the Common, Uncommon, or Rare rarities
Any time the wearer slides a natural 20 on an attack, the wearer heals 4 HP.
This ring does not deal any additional damage to the target of the attack.
If your attack (any non-scroll attack slide that deals damage) winds up as the only puck resting on the “20”, that attack deals +5 damage. If you are capable of sliding more than one puck, only one of your attacks may rest on the 20 for this power to activate. E.g., if a ranger wearing this ring performs a double melee attack and both pucks rest on the 20, the power from this ring will not activate.
