While wearing this ring, you can turn invisible as an action. Anything you are wearing or carrying is invisible with you. You remain invisible until the ring is removed, until you attack or cast a spell, or until you use a bonus action to become visible again.
Notes: Invisible, Deception, Jewelry
I remember in my first ever dnd game after I slayed 32 goblins and the goblin king, I was rummaging around in a chest. My DM panicked and gave me a ring of invisibility and lived to regret it because I was playing a rogue and sneak attacked with the ring of invisibility and one shot an ogre at level 2.
Late reply, but by RAW Dispel Magic only works on a spell effect; thus you could not end the invisible condition if it is the product of anything but a spell. However, there are the handy spell See Invisibility and Faerie Fire to counter the invisible condition, both of which are lower level than Dispel Magic. Remember, kids, work smarter, not harder.
It's debatable as the action to go invisible could be seen as being its own unique action, but it's also an action from an item which could be considered to be an object you're using, so the Use An Object action granted by haste would be suitable.
I think it falls to DM discretion and what the player(s) are trying to do with it; the invisibility from the ring is persistent and can't be interrupted so it doesn't seem like there'd be an obvious way to exploit it (unlike being able to re-cast invisibility after it gets interrupted by attacking), so I'd probably allow it personally.
I'm just here for the LOTR comments
So basically, this legendary magic item that requires attunement is the equivalent of a 2nd level spell invisibility but without the concentration and infinite duration (aside from attacking or casting a spell).
yes yes precious
Yes. It is quite powerful to give any class access to a spell with unlimited uses and duration. Tons of stealth types try to snag things like a Cloak of Elvenkind, attunement and advantage on sight based stealth checks. Compare it to this...?
Also, see Winged Boots. Uncommon, but limited in speed and duration, doesn't just give you the fly spell.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oh im invisible. WHAT DO MEAN I CANT TURN BACK UNLESS I PUNCH SOMEONE IM JUST TO NICE TO DO THAT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This shows why dnd copied the hobbit but its okay
More like the Ring of Gyges, which was probably Tolkein's source to begin with. For the One Ring you would need to add some escalating set of powers of command: it is pretty clear that more powerful people than Hobbits would be able to use it to command the wearers of the other rings, just for a start, and likely exercise dominion over entire armies and kingdoms. Both rings are meant to represent the temptations of power.
It doesn't say what the attunement is though
