My party and I just received a Ring of Spell Storing, an item that can store up to 5 levels of spell, and allow the wearer to cast anything stored within.
My party has a 5th lvl Bard, 5th lvl Cleric of Life and 4th lvlRogue/1st lvl Forge Domain Cleric....
I can likely get some one else to cast something in the ring but only rarely as magic is not widely accepted in our world.
Are there any cool tricks, or things that would permanently help me? Find Familiar seems kinda cool, but our DM will not allow non PHB creatures.

1 Dissonant Whispers: Psychic Damage AND makes the creature move away so you can then escape without taking an AoO.
1 Feather Fall: The bard has better spells to memorize than this one yet when you need it, you REALLY need it. So keep it in the ring.
1 Faerie Fire: Kills invisibility and grants advantage.
The only thing I might do is replace Feather Fall and Faerie Fire with Detect Thoughts because it lets you cast detect thoughts WITHOUT being detect (no V,S, or M). But that means giving up two really great emergency spells.
Also, any cool gimmicks or tricks, like doing Find Familiar... permanent things are cool.
I am still very limited by what spells I have available in the party, or with NPCs,.....um, we have had some bad luck with Wizards in our group... 2 joined, 2 died....lol
As I read the Find Steed, it is not permanent... once it loses all HP it is gone til I cast again... unlike Find Familiar that I can send to a pocket dimension til needed... I wish you could do that with the Mount and I would be all over that... our last few horses have all been eaten when we are in dungeons...

Permanent until killed is pretty permanent, as far as spells go. They don't have to be magically maintained and cannot be dispelled. Find Familiar also has to be recast if they are killed, and they have 1hp. Recasting Find Familiar also costs 10gp worth of materials, Find Steed doesn't cost anything.
Yes, but the Find Familiar can be stored in the pocket dimension... where the Find Steed has to be left alone when you travel to places where they can not go, and they will likely die...
Also, If the spell is not known by one of our clerics or our bard, then I have to find someone to refill the ring, not likely in our game.... Hence the problem why I can not rely on recasting the spells.

Yep, that's why I asked what college your bard is. If they are College of Lore, they can get Find Steed at level 6.

I would definitely put a healing spell in the ring, having the ability to quickly and easily heal the party's healer if he's knocked to 0 HP is invaluable! I'd suggest Healing Word because it's a ranged spell and a bonus action so the fighter can cast it while still attacking.
A damage dealing area of affect spell, maybe Thunderwave because it affects every target in front of you, will be very useful when you're being mobbed by a bunch of opponents.
Heat Metal because when it's useful it's incredibly useful!
Silence so that the fighter can cast the spell when he get's into melee with a spell caster.
Those are all 1st or 2nd level so you can put at least 3 of them into the ring.

Your steed is a spirit similar to a familiar, so if it drops to 0 HP it fades away for you to resummon like a familiar. And if you polymorph it you can bring it with you.
ok. that might be a good idea... once he survives til level 6. :D
thanks
If they're not College of Lore then they'll have to wait til level 10 which is like forever in game time. On the other hand, once they get there it can be Find Greater Steed instead which can get you flying mounts!

How do you mean Polymorph will allow you to bring it? and I don't have access to Polymorph anyway...lol.
I just liked the idea of being able to pocket dimension to protect it and not having to recast it at all... as long as I dont let it get in trouble and die, I am good forever. Steed is too hard to put away when needed, etc... and how hard would it be to store a Sabertooth Tiger at a small village or town?

If you polymorph it into a mouse you can put it in your pocket. When you need it you pull it out and SLAM it onto the ground. That would deal at least 1 damage to the mouse, which pops back up as a full HP Sabertooth Tiger.

Need spells the Clerics or Bard can cast if possible... .Thanks
I am a BattleMaster.
and those are some good ideas.. thanks
I advice all first level spells:
1 Shield: Do I really have to explain?
1 Healing Word: Death prevented
1 Dissonant Whispers: Psychic Damage AND makes the creature move away so you can then escape without taking an AoO.
1 Feather Fall: The bard has better spells to memorize than this one yet when you need it, you REALLY need it. So keep it in the ring.
1 Faerie Fire: Kills invisibility and grants advantage.

What college is your bard? If they are College of Lore, next level they can get Find Steed, meaning permanent, loyal, telepathic mounts for everyone!

You might think about Haste for the ring. Or Enlarge/Reduce

Haste for a frontline fighter is a must.
The rest is nice and dandy, but if you can get haste, get it.
