Hey,

I was very surprised to find this item in my last playtrough. I think it was somewhere in Grymforge.
Won't talk too much about shove again but seriously, you are over doing it...



Being rewarded when you shove does not make any sense lore-wise and it also offers a painfull gameplay. Shoving each turn to have +1 AC ?


I think you should turn it into a Ring of Protection that always gives +1 AC but also +1 to ST.



Players need to feel that they become stronger. A better AC makes our character stronger but a better AC only if you shove is often useless.
As a regular Ring of Protection it would be a very good reward for level 5 characters exploring a dangerous dungeon without the chore of having to shove at each turn to be more powerfull...

Agreed, the ring makes no sense right now. AC +1 might be too powerful though because AC stacking is in general very strong. You already feel like a power creep with all the level 5 damaging spells and extra attacks and the game feels so easy. Dunno. But It is nonetheless better than what we have now, because AC on shove is nonsensical.

Edit: +1 to ST is much wanted though and would help with remaining concentration a lot. There aren't many useful rings in the game anyway, so I might use it on a SH or Gale.

I agree that the game is very easy with level 5 characters on the surface but I think they have done a pretty good job at balancing Grymforge.
I didn't struggled too much but I don't think I would be overpowered with an additionnal +1AC on a character.

Damn, it seems just a small thing, but this ring enrages me! Now, they are literally trolling us with this item buffing their homebrew Shove mechanic. I will not easily forget this, Larian!

that ring was in EA since start they just moved it btw...
