Bladeturning (Magic Ring)

This ring can deflect attacks made with metallic weapons. The wearer can deflect one such attack per round, provided he or she is engaged in personal defense, not simply aiding someone else. To use the ring, the wearer declares that he or she wishes to deflect an attack, and which attack is to be turned back, if more than one opponent is involved or if an opponent has more than one attack per round. The wearer must declare intent before the opponent's THAC0 roll is made. The attack, whether it would have hit or not, is immediately turned aside. Each of these rings has 3d10 charges when found, and cannot be recharged. Note the ring cannot deflect an attack if a THAC0 roll has already been made by the opponent: if the attack hits, damage must be taken, and one of the ring's charges is used anyway, even if it misses.
