[QUOTE="smetzger, post: 179286, member: 1230"] 1) Its a free action to activate and deactivate. 2) You weild it as a normal shield 3) You can hold a two-handed weapon in one hand. 4) You can switch holding a two-handed weapon from one hand to two-hands as a free action and vice versa. Conclusion: You could have the ring activated while holding your greatsword in one hand and then when it comes your turn you could 1) take a free action to deactivate it, 2) take a free action to switch your sword to two hands, 3) make your attack(s), 4) take a free action to switch holding your sword from two hand to one hand 5) take a free action to activate your ring Of course if your attacks provoked AoO or someone had a ready action on you then for those attacks you would not have the benefit of the ring. Also, it a little murky as to whether you could make any AoOs. I don't think you could, I believe that technically you can't take a free action unless its your turn. [/QUOTE]
