Ring of Fire Resistance

RING OF FIRE RESISTANCE

The wearer of this ring is totally immune to the effects of normal fires - torches, flaming oil, bonfires, etc.

Very large and hot fires, molten lava, demon immolation, hell hound breath, or a wall of fire spell will cause 10 hit points of damage per round (1 per segment) if the wearer is directly within such conflagration.

Exceptionally hot fires such as red dragon breath, pyrohydra breath, fireballs, flame strike, fire storm, etc. are saved against at +4 on the die roll, and all damage dice are calculated at -2 per die, but each die is never less than 1 in any event. (As a rule of thumb, consider very hot fires as those which have a maximum initial exposure of up to 24 hit points, those of exceptional heat 25 or more hit points.)

Campaign Rule. A ring of fire resistance protect the wearer from fire effects in the following additional ways: If the wearer misses a save versus a fire effect, their gear will only need to roll saves if the save was a Natural 1. When rolling saves for gear, each piece of gear making an item save versus fire/heat gains a bonus of +4 to the save.

Dragon #147, Sage Advice: Q: "Will a ring of fire resistance protect the wearer's equipment or just his body?" A: This is up to the DM. Generally, it is safe to assume that the ring keeps the wearer's personal equipment from burning to cinders if he walks through a normal fire. However, the ring's +4 saving throw bonus vs. magical fires applies only to the wearer, and does not extend to his items (see the DMG, page 130).
