That is fine.but, the way I am posting actually has less abuse, and works better for the game, so it seems like a better rule to go by.Everything you have quoted for your side can be used equally well for my side. That is the point, the rules are not clear. There is nothing definative. There is enough for a dm to make a ruling, but it could go either way, depending on the dm's preference. while rule 0 is all fine and good, it would be better to have a definate answer.The fact that all of those spells dont mention it at all, that, in fact, nothing anywhere seems to mention it at all, is pretty damning. This isnt something where one side is definatively right or wrong, unfortunate perhaps, but true. Even asking customer service or the sage is unhelpful, as customer service is wrong more often than they are right and the sage has a spotty track record with things that require thinking about more than one paragraph of text at a time. Sometimes he is better than others though, and he does have a rough job.Sure, where is the harm in that? The ring itself is already vastly overpriced, going by the way I have interpreted the rules it isnt so horribly overpriced, going by the way you are saying it is still vastly overpriced. That seems to be a point for my side <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Sure, if he didnt cast them. That is how the game works, until he casts them or chooses to forget them or something like energy drain zaps it away he will keep it forever. hence why there is an option to forget a spell that you currently have prepared.But this would qualify as a special exception that my interpretation doesnt even have to deal with. For yours you have to say, 'well, even though it did decrease it didnt decrease beyond point X so you dont have to worry about it this time, even though normally under my ruling you would lose bonus slots since the stat said +X but changed to +Y'. It is just very inconsistant.I much prefer my interpretation, which is perfectly valid with everything given so far. It just flows much better, much less bookeeping. generally I have seen nothing bad about it so far.</blockquote>
