Ring of Aztrozoology

Magic

Worn

Carvings adorn this wooden ring, depicting natural creatures from its creator’s home world. While wearing the ring, you can cast the charm monster spell once per day (save DC = 13 + your key ability score modifier; caster level 5th), though the spell can affect only creatures with the animal type.

The ring also grants you a special rapport with strange creatures, granting you a +5 insight bonus to Survival checks made to bond with a companion creature (Alien Archive 3 138) whose creature type is different than your own, and to Survival checks made to release a companion creature. As a standard action, you can destroy the worn ring to restore your creature companion to life, affecting it as though you had cast mystic cure as a 4th-level spell.
