A player in a game I currently play in has recenty acquired a Ring of Spell Immunity. The way this particular Ring works is that a mage casts a spell of the wearer's choice into it, and then they become immune to that spell.
He got this at the end of our last session, and the DM called it while we rested. He asked my my character to cast Time Stop into it.
Now, my question: How, exactly, can one be immune to Time Stop? Since it affects only the caster by speeding them up to the point where it appears that time has stopped, there's nothing to really be immune to, is there? My DM hasn't yet decided on this matter, but I thought I better prepare some in-character arguments,
because of the reasons below, if you care to hear them.
The reason I ask this is complicated. My character is Chaotic Nuetral, and knows the the other guy is secretly evil. The guy, however has proven himself useful.
Long Explanation:
My character cast a specially prepared Arcane Sight (Widened X2) permanent on himself. My character found out that this character was wearing a magical ring that he hadn't told the party about. One casting of Greater Arcane Sight later, it was discovered to be a Ring of Undiscernible Alignment.
My character, of course discreetly cast a Dispel Magic while the other guy slept. Using a Wish to duplicate a Detect Evil, I found out he was Evil.
So my character is hesitant to give him an advantage that could prove fatal. |

This is just my own house rule, but I think of spell immunity like an improved spell resistance, so I would not allow any spell that does not allow spell resistance to be cast into a ring of spell immunity. |

Check the errata, WOTC removed that. :) |

From what I've been told, in 3/3.5e you can't be immune to timestop because it's a personal spell.... |

It just means he won't be affected if he ever managed to cast time stop on himself. It would be a wasted spell for the item.
Why don't you just say "OK, I'll cast Time Stop on your ring." No danger, and he's happy and remains useful.

The only way I could see imunity effect would be able to see the faster moving character. See all actions taken, perhaps get AoO if the caster got close enough.
It does not make much sense to me amd would think many other spells would make more sense. |
