Came up with this idea a minute ago, inspired by http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/rings/ring-of-friend-shield
This would be a evil variant of that--both a.always on, and b.the damage is spread among more than two rings.
Ring of Forced Shielding
Aura:Moderate necromancy & abjuration
CL:20th
Slot:Ring
Price:26k per slave-ring; Master rings are minor artifacts.
A Ring of Forced Shielding is perhaps one of the most barbaric of all evil artifacts. The means to make one of the master rings was lost due to the rarity of their creation, but the slave-rings are commonly manufactured by those who have gotten their hands on one of these.
When a unworn slave ring passes within 10 feet of a master ring, that slave ring is thereby bound to that ring, releasing all former binds. A bound ring, when worn, absorbs a portion of all damage the bearer of the master ring takes, transferring it to the wearer of each slave ring. Each ring transfers 1/(X+1) of the damage taken by the master ring's bearer, where X is the number of bound slave rings that are worn.
Thus, if there are two rings, the master only takes 1/3rd the damage; if there are 9, he takes 1/10th, and if he has 99, he takes 1/100th.
The remainder of any damage is split randomly or as the wearer wishes, though, notably, it is always transferred. So if he has 5 damage absorbers and takes 9 damage, he cannot choose to take any of the extra damage himself; if he wishes to keep his servant rings active, he can choose to split it among those who have the most health.
A notable difference in the Forced Shielding rings is that they constantly report to the master of them how much health their wearers have, assuming he chooses to listen; this way, he can taunt any paladins or other do-gooders with how close they just drove a innocent to death.
A pair of rings made accidentally when trying to make a actual ring of friend shield will behave as normal until one of the pair pass near a master ring, at which point both instantly attune to the wearer.
Spells:Discern Health, Shield Other. Crafting Price:13k
