Intelligent Item Question

[Where's the Weed?]

If your II is a ring for example (something you're always wearing) would an ability like casting a spell with Personal as the Target effect you the wearer?

Mirror Image, for example.

A Personal spell would affect the caster of the spell, which would be the ring. Some Personal spells, such as teleport, also affect other creatures as specified in the spell description.

So that would make the ring have images and not my character, the wearer ? That seems a little harsh, or maybe just "balanced" !

Personal spells can be a little more powerful and give the caster more control, since they're designed on the assumption that the effect applies to an arcane caster who took a standard action to enact the spell. If you allow such a spell on an intelligent ring, be aware that you're granting a non-caster character potentially more benefit than the spell's designer anticipated when setting its spell level and components.

I'm a player in this case, but I also DM and if I'm honest I wouldn't allow it!
