Unusual Rings


Rules Questions


Can you make an animal companion wear a magical ring? Can you customize the ring to fit around their wrist like a bracer or some such thing?


Magical items other than arms and armours shape themselves to fit the wearer, or are adjustable. So if the Animal Companion has a corresponding body part, rings can be worn.

I always slit the ear, put the ring in, and stitch it back up like a permanent earring. This requires a decent heal check and a very high handle animal check (+4 for being a companion), however.

[Edit] This assumes the companion has an ear. Unlike snakes, lizards, or birds. Birds could have it on as a ring. Pawed or hoofed animals get the above ear treatment.

Wouldn't a tail ring have been easier?

Do you want to put a ring right by the animal's butt?

I first did this with an auroch companion, so the ring wouldn't have fit over the tuff of hair to get to the tail part.


Or use a Hand of Glory

You can go with the ridiculous 3.5 picture of the aboleth wearing rings on its tentacles and a cape on its tail and assume that all magic items magically resize and fit on creatures somewhere, even if it looks absurd.

Of course were a human to try to put on aboleth ceremonial slime duct covers they'd probably turn into pasties and look equally silly.

I'v never seen that pic. Link perhaps?
