Ring of Echoing Steps magic item (D&D 5e 2024)

Attunement

requires attunement by any character

Mechanical effect

While wearing this ring, you can use a bonus action to cast the spell Misty Step (2nd-level version) without expending a spell slot. This ability can be used twice, and the ring regains all expended uses daily at dawn.

Description

This slender silver ring is etched with delicate footprints that seem to shimmer faintly. Legends say it was crafted by a secretive order of messengers who prized swift and silent travel. When worn, the ring allows the bearer to vanish in a wisp of mist and reappear a short distance away, as if echoing their steps through the air.

DM notes

The item provides a limited-use, once-per-day teleportation effect (Misty Step at 2nd level) with one additional use, fitting well within Uncommon rarity and attunement guidelines. The bonus action activation keeps it tactically interesting without overshadowing class features. Recharge at dawn aligns with DMG rules.
