Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Exploit: Shapeshifting Boon Ring buff Persists after removal

The Shapeshifting Boon Ring - easily one of the most powerful and overlooked items in the game - provides a 1D4 Bonus to all skill checks while you are disguised (Disguise Self spell or kit or Mask of the Shapeshifter all work).

However, if you take off the ring the buff persists until long rest. As such I am able to use Mask of the Shapeshifter to give this buff to my entire party. It's already crazy OP but this is a big exploit.

This sounds like intended gameplay, doesn’t it? In early access, none of the items with triggered effects had those effects end if the item was removed. You could turn your entire party invisible by passing around a single magic ring. If that hasn’t been resolved with launch, I really don’t see Larian fixing what you call an exploit (and they presumably call a feature).

Those exploits don't work anymore, because we reported them in early access and they got fixed. You can't pass around the sword of justice buff anymore.
