So stumbling across the Ring of Continuation, it seemed pretty cool! However I am completely stumped as to what spells can be used with its limit of personal spells that are 10 minutes per level or greater.
How many personal spells actually apply to this ring?
The ring used to be fantastic before they errata'ed it to have the 10min/lvl requirement on the personal spells. Now you're better off saving 15k and getting a ring of FoM in that slot instead.
It's going to be a better buff to have always up than anything else I can think of the RoC could help you with.

I know! It's a little sad. I feel more inclined to buy an Extend Metamagic Rod instead, since it works with any spell regardless of it's duration. Also I could hand it off for an ally to use, and it's not as "selfish" regarding personal spells.
Yeah, the Rod seems like the better investment unless you really comb through the spell lists.
I actually can't find a single spell that fits the description in the Ring, except ones that last all day already. Such as Longstrider, Mage Armor, and the like.
There's a few others. Contingent Scroll is the best use IMO because you're not going to recast it unless you have a stack of scrolls to burn.

The ring is even worse than you think. Casting a new spell with a range of personal ends the continuation spell, whether or not the new spell is eligible for continuation.
Shield would be an option. Probably still not worth the money.

This is a decent limiting factor if the 10 minute/level rule was omitted. The only spell I could see getting out of hand would be something like Caustic Blood
So, instead of being broken with Timestop, it is now essentially broken in its basic functionality?
Great.
Why not fix the Timestop brokenness with "Doesnt work with Timestop.", instead of trashing the whole item?
This heavy-handed stuff is why people badmouth balancing nerfs in general.

Agreed. Things would be ok if the ring involved 1-minute/level or 1-round/level personal spells. I mean, yeah you could walk around with Divine Power on a Cleric/Oracle all day, but you couldn't use other spells like Righteous Might/Divine Favor in conjunction. Not too terribly powerful.
I feel that spells that have a 10-minute/level duration already last long enough without the ring. Especially by the time you can afford 56,000gp.
The limit of 10 min is not in my book thus not in my games.
Other 10 minute/level personal spells:
aram zey's trap ward, chameleon scales, enshroud thoughts, eyes of the void, firebelly, focused scrutiny, heightened awareness, inner focus, jungle mind, perceive cues, phantom blood, resinous skin, seducer's eyes, veil of heaven, veil of positive energy
Yikes. Hardly any of those justify the cost and slot of the ring.
