Description

While the Star-Emperor's Ring is worn, in additional to its base item's normal effects, each attack the character makes in melee or with a thrown/fired weapon while wearing Nenya adds +1d20 to-hit and +1d20 silver damage. Additionally, the worn Star-Emperor's Ring will passively "lash out" at adjacent hostile monsters that it can target for a number of attacks equal to the wearer's experience level divided by 10 (i.e. 0 at XL 10, up 3 at XL 30), with a ²⁄₃ chance of attacking a particular adjacent monster.

Attacks made by the character with their bare hands while wearing the Star-Emperor's ring are instead replaced with a "spiritual starblade" attack that deal 4d8 damage: as spiritual weapons, they bypass AC and DR and are guaranteed to hit insubstantial monsters such as shades and Sharab Kamerel, much like armor-phasing weapons; they are considered non-contact attacks and are always counted as dealing silver damage, but do not obtain any relevant bonuses from with a wielded weapon (e.g. via strength, skill, etc.) unarmed combat bonuses (e.g. gloves, rings, etc.); and the character can twoweapon with an empty offhand slot, which uses a spiritual starblade - this starblade is not affected by a lack of twoweapon skill, only requiring a free hand.
