Ring of X-Ray Vision (Dungeon Master Guide)





Ring of X-Ray Vision: This ring gives its possessor the ability to see into and through substances
that are impenetrable to normal sight. Vision range is 20 feet, with the viewer
seeing as if he were looking at something in normal light. X-ray vision can
penetrate 20 feet of cloth, wood, or similar animal or vegetable material, and up
to 10 feet of stone or some metals (some metals can’t be penetrated at all):

It is possible to scan up to 100 square feet of area during one round. Thus,
during one round, the wearer of the ring could scan an area of stone 10 feet
wide and 10 feet high. Alternatively, he could scan an area 5 feet wide and 20
feet high.


Secret compartments, drawers, recesses, and doors are 90% likely to be located
by x-ray vision scanning. Even though this ring enables its wearer to scan
secret doors, traps, hidden items, and the like, it also limits his use of the
power, for it drains 1 point of Constitution if used more frequently than once
every six turns. If it is used three turns in one hour, the user loses 2 points
from his total Constitution score, 3 if used four turns, etc.


This Constitution loss is recovered at the rate of 2 points per day of rest.
If Constitution reaches 2, the wearer is exhausted and must rest immediately. No
activity, not even walking, can be performed until Constitution returns to 3
or better.
