Sandthief's Ring

The Sandthief's Ring is a magical ring in The Black Pits, Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Shadows of Amn (and EE) and can be imported into Throne of Bhaal.
== Gameplay ==
It bestows normal Invisibility to the wearer upon command via the item spell use menu. Therefore, the effect is not constant, but rather is activated when needed, so long as the item is not drained of charges. Its effect is removed by anything that would normally end the Wizard spell Invisibility.
In the original Baldur's Gate I with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, the ring would be destroyed if all of its charges were used up, having neglected to sell and then re-buy it, in order to recharge it back to its maximum number of charges. This could be quite expensive with a base item value of 20,000.
In Baldur's Gate II the ring has one charge per Rest Period and is temporarily "drained" not destroyed, so there's no reason to sell and re-buy it anymore in order to recharge it, but instead just rest. Its price has also been lowered significantly.
In addition, Cespenar can use the ring to upgrade Thieves' Hood (also requires an Antidote, and 10,000).
Various game-controlled NPCs will employ an undroppable Sandthief's ring coupled with the useitem.bcs script in order to attain invisibility. An example is Regis in the Encounter - Drizzt Do'Urden area.
