Posted Nov 20, 2025Hi! I didn't forget to put in what the item does - this item was for a contest where entries were limited to a 50-word description and were asked to focus on simplicity and the Stranger Things theme. Based on the examples they gave, I left it fairly open to interpretation so I could detail the ring itself.
In my mind, the ring can be activated as an action to grant allies within 30 feet 2d6 temporary hit points and any enemies in that range must make a DC15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
I'll be creating a proper, working version soon so keep an eye out for that. 🤘
