New Submissions
This bronze ring is heavily built ,green with age and has abstract runic patterns.
No matter the wearer's size,it will fit loosely. It protects the bearer from injury when the bearer is used as a projectile, as from a catapult. Launch, flight or landing will not harm the wearer, even should the target struck be sharp, such as a spiked door. Whatever is struck is not protected. As it fits loosely, there is a chance that the ring could slip off, removing its protection.
If the wearer uses both hands to retain the ring, it will not slip off.

The bit about it being loose is sort of awkward though. If it's meant to balance the potentially game-breaking power of the ring, my players would just tie it to their fingers or something. If I used this, I'd make it an activation power, so the PC wouldn't be immune to all traps forever. Or a pair of rings. NO! A giant helmet that looks like a loaf of bread with rocketman fins on the top or a giant eagle face or something.
Damn, that's cool!
P.S. I feel like this is the perfect use of the 100-word submission concept. Just a great little idea, stripped down and presented in its most usable form.

Depends on how rules-lawery you want to go.
As for securing the ring, sure, but don't forget :)
Winged helm would quite well with it. :)

Nifty thing, val; you've been very prolific of late!
I like these 100 word subs.

What wold happen, though, if some dramatic-entrance-ruiner took out his spear or sword or something and tried to stab the bada** as he came down? Would bracing the spear against the floor work, or would the spear guy have to stab the approaching person? I'd assume that the bracing wouldn't work, though. And stabbing would be hard to do with also avoiding the projectile.
This is 100 words!!!!!

I have to ask, since no one has...what pray tell is the origin tale of this thing?!
