Protection from Plants: (Reading time - 1 round). A protective 5’ radius is centered on the reader. All forms of vegetable life (including fungi, slimes, molds, and the like) are unable to penetrate the sphere. If it is moved toward plant life that is capable of movement, the plant will be pushed away. If the plant is immobile (a well-rooted shrub, bush, or tree, for instance), the sphere cannot be moved through or past it unless the reader has enough strength and mass to uproot the plant under normal conditions. The protection lasts for 1d4+4 turns. Protection from Poison: (Reading time - 3) The protection afforded by this scroll extends only to the reader. No form of poison ingested, contacted, breathed, etc. - will affect the protected individual, and any poison in the reader’s system is permanently neutralized. The protection otherwise lasts 1d10+2 rounds. Protection from Possession: (Reading time - 1 round) This scroll generates a magical circle of 10’ radius that extends from, and moves with, the reader. All creatures within its confines are protected from possession by magical spell attacks such as magic jar or attack forms aimed at possession or mental control. Even the dead are protected if they are within the magic circle. The protection lasts for 10d6 rounds in 90% of these scrolls; 10% have power that lasts 10d6 turns, but the spell effect is stationary. Protection from Undead: (Reading time - 4) When this scroll is read, a 5’ radius circle of protection extends from, and moves with, the reader. It protects everyone within it from all physical attacks made by undead (ghasts, ghosts, ghouls, shadows, skeletons, spectres, wights, wraiths, vampires, zombies, etc.) but not magical spells or other attack forms. If a creature leaves the protected area, it is subject to physical attack. The protection restrains up to 35 Hit Dice/levels of undead; excess Hit Dice/levels can pass through the circle. It remains in effect for 10d8 rounds. Some protection scrolls of this nature protect only against certain types of undead (one or more) rather than all undead, at the DM’s option. (See "Potions, Undead Control" for a die roll table.) Protection from Water: (Reading time - 6) This protection extends in a 5’ radius sphere centered on the reader. All forms of water—liquid, solid, and vapor, ice, hail, snow, sleet, steam, and so forth—are unable to penetrate the sphere of protection. If those protected come upon a form of water, the substance simply will not touch them; thus, they will not slip on ice, sink into a body of water, etc. The protection lasts for 1d4+4 turns.
Section 3: Rings Rings No more than 2 magical rings can be worn by a character at the same time. If more are worn, none will function. No more than one magical ring can be worn on the same hand. A second ring worn on one hand causes both to be useless. Rings must be worn on the fingers. Rings on toes, in ear lobes, etc., do not function as magical rings. The spell-like abilities of rings function as 12th-level magic unless the power requires a higher level. In cases where a higher level is necessary, rings function at the minimum level of magic use needed to cast the equivalent spell. Magical rings can be worn and used by all character classes and humans/humanoids not specifically prohibited elsewhere.
Rings Ring of Animal Friendship: When the wearer of this ring approaches within 10’ of any animals of neutral alignment and animal intelligence, the creatures must roll saving throws vs. spell. If they succeed, they move rapidly away from the ring wearer. If the saving throws fail, the creatures become docile and follow the ring wearer around. The item functions at 6th level, so up to 12 Hit Dice of animals can be affected by this ring. 9
