Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General bone spear ring

hi all.

while playing BD i found a ring with the stats of a bone spear. anyone else get these? nothing seems to augment if i equip it so it's just a strange oddity (that i carry around with me in my journeys)

..speaking of that, wouldn't it be nice to have the game cater for strange things like this? either pre-gen some *odd* items or allow the game to recognise data where it should not be? (hey i program myself, it isn't too hard to do things like this if one feels the need) - it would be cool to have a shopkeeper pester you to sell the item, or maybe even a nasty NPC type would start sending assassin's after you (should you refuse to sell the item) ..it would be a good way to make the game generate random side-quests if expanded upon? (will post some other RPG ideas in the appropriate thread)

anyway, that is all.. just wanted to tell you all about my bone spear ring. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think this particular ring was kind of a bug.

I had found it, too.

Oddly, one time I was playing BD, equipped a 'Bone Spear' ring sometime in act 1, and later on in act 2 I found the character I equipped it on (who also had a nice sword equipped) was not doing Slashing damage, but was instead doing Bone damage!

No idea how you change from doing the Slashing of the sword (or any other weapon) to the Bone damage of that ring intentionally, though, as that character of mine definitely was NOT doing Bone damage for many fights right after equipping that ring. (and unfortunately, by the time he started using Bone rather than Slashing, he had a sword so much better that he'd be better off using Slashing. I promptly unequipped the Bone Spear ringy and he started Slashing instead of using Bone again)

neat. i'll fiddle with this..

..you could try equipping the ring THEN equipping the sword (to see if the game recognises the most recently equipped thing?)

unless the ring delivers extra enhancements it's probably a waste of time :P

thnx for the feedback.
