Ring, legendary (requires attunement)
While wearing this ring, you have advantage on saving throws against any spell that targets only you (not in an area of effect). In addition, if you roll a 20 for the save and the spell is 7th level or lower, the spell has no effect on you and instead targets the caster, using the slot level, spell save DC, attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the caster.
Notes: Advantage: Saving Throws, Warding, Jewelry
"Roll of 20" means a natural 20, not the total save after modifiers.
What if both casters have a Ring of Spell Turning?
What if it is a concentration spell?
What if it is a charm spell? Does the caster charm himself?
I wonder why this is categorized as legendary. I can maybe understand if it's for flavor as it may be a difficult item to manufacture, but rarity is typically used as shorthand for an item's power and comparing this to the Mantle of Spell Resistance, which is just rare, I don't feel like that assessment is fair. The advantage of this ring only applies to single-target spells, which is much more situational than the mantle, and the reflection only works on a nat 20 which is uncommon. I wouldn't be surprised if the reflection effect never procced in most campaigns. It's a powerful effect to be sure, but it just seems too unlikely of a scenario to be worth an attunement slot, let alone categorizing this as legendary. I would rather the effect proc systematically but only on lower level spells, or a separate 1d8 roll to determine if the spell is low-enough level to be reflected.

What if you are targeted by an attack roll spell as it says that it uses the caster's attack bonus. Is it reflected if they roll a natural 1 to attack you?
also this item only works on spells directed at you; where as the mantle is for any spell save.
The way that would work is the caster would cast the spell and the target would use the ring. If the target rolled a nat 20, then the dm could allow the caster to use his/her own ring to deflect some damage. The caster would then have to roll another nat 20 (which is rather unlikely) to redeflect the spell towards the original target. This could theoretically go on until one person stops rolling nat 20's (which of course would eventually happen). This scenario is so unlikely and kind of epic in terms of gameplay that I don't think the dm would have to worry about this happening. If it did, I think it would be really exciting for the players!
The other caster has to make a save either way, so if they use this ring aswell then they get advantage and on the roll of a nat 20 it happens again
Wait for one to not roll a 20
Would this item have any effect if the wearer was casting a spell and someone cast Counterspell on them? I'm guessing no, but hoping yes, lol.
As Counterspell requires no saving throw, only a potential check if the spell being countered is above the level that Counterspell is being cast, this ring has no interaction with it.
As long as both keep rolling natural 20's on their saves the spell keeps bouncing around.
Nothing, actually. Person A casts a spell, and is now the Caster. Person B has a ring and rolls a 20, the spell is now cast on the Caster (Person A). Person A uses a ring, rolls a 20. Since they are the Caster, the spell can't bounce to anyone else and they aren't effected by it since it only targets the Caster and they rolled a 20. The spell fizzles and has no effect.
This is what I wondered too. What if it’s polymorph? Does the concentration move to the ring wearer?
Kind of like a game of pong then | . |
THAT'S SO COOL. I AM PLAYING D&D AND I GOT THAT RING.
