Ring of Forcefangs This band negates any force spell or spell-like ability targeted at the wearer. Doing so gives the ring a number of charges equal to the spell level of the incoming force effect. The ring can hold a maximum of nine charges. If an incoming force attack would charge the ring beyond this limit, the ring does not negate the attack or gain charges, and the attack affects the wearer normally. On command, the wearer can use the ring’s charges to cast magic missile, unleashing one missile (1d4+1 force damage) per charge but no more than five missiles per round.
Note: When first added, the magic missile spell for this ring will have all its charges expended - as the ring absorbs charges, these can be un-spent.

All of the above foes will have fairly intimate knowledge of the PCs and most will be able to plan their attacks. The PCs will be a human rogue/fighter, a half-elf cleric, a half-elf two-handed fighter, a human TWF rogue, a human paladin and a halfling wizard. All but the wizard also took Leadership for monstrous cohorts. The party will be level 15 when they start the adventure and are generally slightly above their calculated APL on power level (due to tactics and gear).
Any suggestions are welcome and thanks ahead of time!
