Seven small half-spheres rise from the shining, reflective surface of this golden ring.

A ring of vengeance glows softly when worn by a good-aligned creature. Nongood creatures gain no benefit from the ring.
Whenever a creature scores a critical hit on you with a melee weapon, this ring unleashes an arc of divine energy that deals 5d6 points of damage to the creature that scored the critical hit. This ability functions three times per day.

Lore: Originally given by archons to their mortal champions in the lost ages of the world, the oldest of these rings were ancient when the elves first began to record their histories.

Prerequisites: Forge Ring, vengeance halo (BoED 111), good alignment.
Cost to Create: 2,000 gp (plus 500 gp for base item), 160 XP, 4 days.
