Ring of the Mantis Shrimp (3.5e Equipment)

Ring of the Mantis Shrimp
These incredibly well-crafted and very colorful orichalcum rings were crafted by an order of aquatic monk. The ring was originally given to any apprentice earning their proper place in the monastery, supposedly located deep in an unknown reef. The ring is particularly useful for the surfacers who applies to the monastery, when worn the ring allow it wearer to breath underwater, fight under water without penalties and grant it wearer a swim speed equal to her base land speed. A monk wearing this ring will apply her unarmored speed bonus twice to her swim speed (whether granted by the ring or any natural swim speed).

When worn the ring make a creature's unarmed attack incredibly fast and deadly, treating the wearer's unarmed attack as if it was two size category larger, while underwater it is treated as if it was three size category larger instead. The wearer also gain the benefit of the wave strike feat, although she may only apply it to her unarmed attacks. If she already possessed the feat she gain the benefits of improved wave strike instead with the same restriction to unarmed attacks.

Monks wearing the ring may spend a stunning fist attempt to replicate the effect of mantis shrimp's spear as a supernatural ability, it caster level is equal to your character.

Prerequisites: Forge Ring, Water Breathing, creator must have at least a level in the monk class (or any improved variant).

Cost to Create: 8,000, 640 EXP, 16 days.
