Wait, I think there is a half-troll in Fiend Folio. It might have regeneration. Let me go check...

Oh, and if you have 30K and are Super Tough, there's the Shriver in Fiendish Codex 2, pg. 52. That's a Magical Location, mind. Oh, and you'll be making a LOT of Fort and Will saves, and taking a TON of damage, so be prepared...

Effects:
1 - You cannot be Shaken.
2 - You can't be Frightened or Nauseated.
3 - You can't be Panicked or Sickened. +2 on Fort Saves.
4 - You can't be Confused or Fatigued. Regeneration 1 (ex) / Good or Chaotic.
5 - You can't be Exhausted. +2 on Will Saves.
6 - Regeneration 2. Act better while Disabled.
7 - Regeneration 3, Barkskin 1/day (CL 5, Free Acton).
8 - Regeneration 5.
9 - Divert [Healing] spells to yourself, if the caster is distracted and you can make an opposed Concentration check (Immediate Action).

That's pretty amazing for 30K! However, you have to do Corrupt and/or Obeisant acts (pg. 30) equal to the number you managed to get per 99 days or it's lost. Not so hard, even without turning Evil. Don't stay too long, though, because any extra time will give no more benefit, but will require more acts!

You'll need to survive 9 x 2d20 Damage, 9 DC 15-23 Will and Fort saves and a LOT of pain over 9 rounds to get all the benefits. Oh, and you'll need to run away, after.

That's all? Sell it like the evil torturing machine it is.

It's two DC 15+(damage from last round / 5) saves per round, both of which are either Fort or Will depending on which bonus is lower for you. Failing a Fort save means to pass out while the Will just means you scream in pain and end any chance of bonuses till you retry this contraption. Oh, and you have to be fully bound in this thing before it works and it takes four Escape Artist Checks, each a Full-Round Action, to escape. No Exact DC is given but manacles are DC 30 (masterwork 35). If you are freeing your self you must also make a DC 20 Concentration check, if someone else is trying to free you they take 1d20 damage each time they roll an odd number so your help needs some good HP and high skill bonuses.

Basically. You're build must have 181+ HP, can reliable beat DC 23 with both it's Fort & Will save, is able to prevent auto fail for at least one natural 1, and can reliable escape. If it were me I'd rule teleporting while chained and bolted into the torture machine designed to rip souls apart and made out of evil metal and only found in hell would mean the pain device goes with you and some pissed off devil(s) start hunting you down for stealing their toy. You're DM will probably be nicer but I think you should aim for reliable beating the skill checks.

P.S. The Regeneration is Extraordinary but yet only bypassed by Chaotic or Good damage, a trait that under Damage Reduction rules would have been Supernatural.

Actually, with the +2 Fort/Will the Shriver gives, as well as the Regeneration, it's a bit easier. What's more, if you get on with Immunity to Nonlethal Damage from a spell, you'll only be taking damage for 4 rounds. Several spells make you either immune to and/or make you enjoy pain, thus nullfying the part about saves, or at least makes it easier.

Plus, nothing is preventing allies from casting spells on you, or you using Still Spell and/or Psionics to cast spells to defend yourself.

That's RAW, of course.

Me, I'd rule that you have to go on that thing without any protection, or it doesn't work for you - it's a learning experience. You learn from pain.

The Ring of Regeneration is basically regeneration-lite. It's better than fast healing, but it's not regeneration. It's better in that it lets you reattach lost limbs, but it's worse in that you don't convert damage to nonlethal damage and you heal at a piddly 1 hp per level per hour... with a price tag of 90,000 gp.

Ring of Regeneration does not grant Regeneration, it grants casting of "Regenerate" the spell.

The ring allows you to regenerate a lost limb and gain fast healing 1, I think.

Regeneration (X) makes all damage non lethal, unless fire or acid and allows you heal (X) per round on any non lethal damage. A creature with Regeneration can regrow lost limbs and must have a constitution score to gain regeneration.


I think the best option for me would be to take toughness and trollblooded at level 1, requiring you to be a human, strongheart halfling or have a flaw (any method of gaining 2 feats, or toughness for free at level one) then at level six leveling into a Horizon Walker to negate the fatigue from sunlight.

maybe get your DM to base the power of the regeneration from your Con modifier and become a fist of the forest type.

I covered it in my post above. In most ways, it's worse than Fast Healing. The only way it beats it is that you can reattach lost limbs. The actual rate of healing is one point per level per hour. That's very slow.

99 days. Admit able it's a bit hard to catch from Cantrip's post.

That's pretty amazing for 30K! However, you have to do Corrupt and/or Obeisant acts (pg. 30) equal to the number you managed to get per 99 days or it's lost. Not so hard, even without turning Evil.
