to activate this ring, you must say its command word, and the name of the creature you want to tell the truth. no one around you can hear the command word that the owner has chosen, and a new command word cannot be chosen until the previous owner is dead. to see if your attack lands, you roll a d20. in the event that your ring fails to work, there is another thing to do. when you twist the circle on the top of the ring, a tiny spike comes out. it contains one dose of truth serum, which can be put directly into the blood stream via the spike. when an attack lands, the victim must tell the truth for an hour.
