Sanctified Rings- Takes up ring slot?


Rules Questions

Shadow Lodge

I ask because I am planning a pair of Society characters that are married, and both would wear a sanctified ring. I ask because channel foci are not necessarily magic items: they are stated to be nonmagical until charged. However, the rings HAVE to be charged to even work, and are always on until destroyed. So: do sanctified rings use a ring slot?


Took a while to find these, they're not in the PRD right now it appears? Anyway, they're from Adventurer's Armory:

"Sanctified Rings

Source Adventurer's Armory 25
A single tiny religious symbol adorns each ring in this matched pair. If two people each wear one of the rings and clasp hands, a cleric may activate both rings with one use of channel energy. If the person wearing one of these rings dies or removes it, the other ring instantly cracks; the wearer of the broken ring knows if it cracked because the other wearer died or the ring was removed."

I'd probably declare them not to take up the ring slot, simply because they're basically cosmetic, doing very little that is going to affect the game (and in particular, not affecting combat), so there's no game balance issue.


They are foci and not magic items. They are not constructed using the magic item creation rules.
