One of our group died and he had one on. Unfortunately he was poisoned as well and didn't make his save once he regenerated. So he is dead and I want to know if someone else in the group can use the ring?

From the SRD: Regeneration This white gold ring continually allows a living wearer to heal 1 point of damage per level every hour rather than every day. (This ability cannot be aided by the Heal skill.) Nonlethal damage heals at a rate of 1 point of damage per level every 5 minutes. If the wearer loses a limb, an organ, or any other body part while wearing this ring, the ring regenerates it as the spell. In either case, only damage taken while wearing the ring is regenerated.

Just wanted to make sure now that the player who was previously using it is dead, I can loot it and then use it om my hand from now on.

Two obvious answers: #1:  Abstract HP, dude.  But this answer is boring. #2:  Who cares?  Either way, there's just one of you - but I bet the process is creepy as hell for your friends to see.

I would say nothing would happen.  If the magic did continue to function, the ring would just seal off at the wrist or wherever the hand was cut off.

Whats more is the ring only works on living flesh, it doesn't work on a corpse. A severed hand is a dead hand, a corpse, so the ring will not work.

Oh come on, that wuld be the coolest way to create an evil twin NPC...
#9 t_stalker Aug 11, 2010 8:50:02	You could look at the ring as if it was a magic weapon from 4e: it automatically returns to the wielder when thrown. => Hand with the ring gets cut off; ring reappears on the other hand and starts regenerating the one that got cut off. (If the other hand also gets cut off the ring moves to a toe, but keeps the ring-slot.) (If the feet get cut off ... get creative )
