Wearing a ring of free action gives you the free action extrinsic, which protects you from paralysis.
This immunity includes protection from:
- Chest traps
- Potion of paralysis or potion of sleeping
- Paralysis or stunning spells (reduced to one turn)
- Sleep gas (as from a sleeping gas trap, Nazgul or orange dragon)
In addition, protection from the paralyzing attacks of the following monsters:
Free action does not:
- Protect you from grabbing attacks, especially drowning
- Protect you from bear traps, pits, spider web trap, or any physically binding traps
- Protect you from stoning
- Allow you to move freely on the Plane of Air or Plane of Water
- Grant any extra turns
Identifying a ring of free action is straightforward in theory, but difficult in practice. Just wear the ring and allow you to be hit by one of the attacks against which free action protects. Since these attacks are rare (but often lethal), identifying a ring of free action in this way is uncommon.
Eating the ring will give you intrinsic sleep resistance instead of free action.
Dropping a ring of free action into a sink produces the message," You see the ring slide right down the drain!"
