For example: A 5th level wizard PC picks up a ring that was the recently deceased 6th level evil cleric's item familiar. It is a ring of protection +2.
Somehow he discovers its true nature and when the wizard gains a level he takes the Item Familiar feat and links with the ring. The rings alignment changes with the new owner.
The evil cleric had invested 6 skill ranks in the ring: Concentration 2 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks, and Spellcraft 2 ranks.
Question: Does the wizard get the 6 ranks for free (already invested in the ring)?
Does he get the 2 +1 bonuses to skills? (from the invested 6 ranks)
Next the cleric had invested a spell slot in the ring of his highest level (6th level cleric, so a 3rd level spell). He got a 1st level spell in return.
Question: Does the wizard get the invested spell slot of 1st level? of 3rd level? both?
Does he get anything at all since it is a divine spell slot and not an arcane one?
I'm pretty sure he gets all the skill ranks, but I don't know about the spell slots.
According to Unearthed Arcana page 173 'If the item familiar had invested skill ranks and/or spell slots, those investments become accessible to the new owner, adding to his totals. If the item familiar has spell slots, the new master can access them only if he could cast spells of the appropriate levels.'
Just looking for confirmation. A new owner would get ALL of the investments the previous owner made, right?
Thanks
