[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 179316, member: 2829"] You're right. That part isn't. The ring only has 2 really big functions, and that's one of them. Maybe. But the emphasis on the shield deactivating/activating at the blink of an eye, as often as you need to, is one of the reasons I'm convinced. By the way. Has anybody actually bothered to sit back and ask themselves, "I wonder if this item is balanced with the costs?" No. I don't think anybody has. But I have since the beginning, though I just realized that I didn't point it out. Look, the damn thing is only worth 8,500gp, and what do you get out of it, really? A measley +2 AC bonus and you can bash with it! What's the big frickin' deal here? Think about it? If all you wanted was +2 to AC, that bonus alone would only cost 2,000gp, but by springing the extra 6,500gp, you also get a shield that never get's in your way. This item doesn't exactly break the balance of power. [/QUOTE]
