Alright, so once upon a time I read a book called "The Monster's Ring," which is a story about a kid who is given a ring that turns him into a monster, with the warning that he should never twist it around his finger three times. It's a pretty cute read; its made for the 4th - 8th grade range, so it's quick, but if you're one of those people who can't appreciate children's literature, you have been warned.
Anyway, in a conversation with a friend of mine about how to make the ego mechanic more interesting, I ended up creating this crazy idea for a random ego; an item that became more powerful as the effects it produced became more powerful. Remembering that book caused me to create this item, the Monster's Ring.
I wrote some pretty interesting fluff for it; it certainly has the potential of having an entire campaign / side quest built around it. I don't want to give any spoilers, but the ring provide an alternate answer for the creation of a certain super-powerful monster that we all know and love :-P.
Anyway, I wanted to get some feedback on the ring, so here I am! This first document is a PDF file. Anyone and everyone should be able to view and open this document.
