Ring of Smokebreath

Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A slender ring forged from dark steel, its band wrapped with a delicate thread of grey haze that coils around a tiny smoking quartz set in a onyx bezel. The stone glows faintly with inner embers, and a soft sigh seems to rustle within the metal whenever you lift it to your finger.

Smoke Breathing You can choose to breathe smoke instead of air. While wearing this ring, you do not need to breathe clean air in smoky environments, and you have advantage on saving throws against inhaled toxins and on checks to resist being suffocated in smoke-filled areas.

Smoke Breath As an action, you can exhale a 15-foot cone of thick smoke. The cone heavily obscures the area for 1 minute. This ability costs 1 charge to use. The ring has 7 charges, and it regains all expended charges at dawn.

Lore

The Ring of Smokebreath is said to have been forged by wind-dancers who bound a wisp of the Plane of Smoke into a ring so a spy could breathe the air of deception. Worn by emissaries and scouts, it lets them melt into crowds or slip through guards by cloaking their presence in a veil of smoke.

History

Ancient guilds of smoke-walkers and clandestine couriers wielded these rings to traverse fortifications and choked halls. The first recorded Ring of Smokebreath was recovered from the charred remains of a fortress where a fog-bound conspiracy had just unfolded, its bearer vanished like mist after a single whispered word.
