Retribution Damage: When a melee attack deals damage to a target possessing Retribution Damage (RD), the attacker takes damage equal to the target’s total RD.

The wearer gains +1 level, suffers a -1 penalty to all saving throws, and may not equip any other rings.

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,
