Ring of Nondetection
What's the difference between the Ring of Non-detection and a Ring of Invisibility? With Invisibility, you can be detected if someone casts a detect spell. But does non-detection make u "invisible" to the naked eye?
There is very little use for Non-Detection, as no NPC spellcasters that I'm aware of actually try to dispel invisibility.
About the only area where it might be helpful is against certain axe-wielding warriors who can see invisible creatures. I haven't tried it, so I don't know for certain that it works.

Non Detection
You are so right Aerich. Non-Detection has been basically neutered in IWD 1 In several run throughs I have seen absolutely no benefit. When invisible, my characters have NEVER been detected by anyone or anything except those few creatures that can naturally detect invisible. In those cases the cloak of non-detection did nothing to help. Like wise, I have seen no benefit from using the spells "detect inivisibility" or "purge inivisible". There were places where I knew there were theives hiding. But neither spell worked and according to the descriptions they should have. So it appears that invisiblity has MUCH more power than intended in IWD.

Go right ahead. 
The ring (Ring of Shadows?) is useful in the early game for the bonus to stealth for rangers or thieves, but once your scout is high enough level, the ring should be traded in for the cash to get something better.

At the last battle of the game Isair will turn invisibel and attack only the one
