As soon as the bugbear chasing her is in view, Alice shoots a blast-component poisoned arrow at him in an attempt to put the poor creature out of its misery.

>that's irrelevant compared to being out for a day. Thus I can use the ring safely twice and then remove it for 1D4 DMG penalty.
You are correct. This is what we have determined.

You do and propose a lot of things historically that made no logical or practical sense. I am not here to predict your actions only to guide them as a benevolent DM.

[Saving Throw[D] vs DC15 1d20-1+1d4=(4,8)]
Alice is yet unable to shake this feeling.
While maintaining her grapple, Cat attacks Nezzner with her claws. Even if it takes both arms to hold him, Cat also has claws on her feet.
[HIT[A] vs AC12 1d20+2+5+1d4=(18,20),(24,28)][DMG 1d6+5+2=8,13]
Cat's toe claws rake into Nezzner, by his desperate pleas she can tell he can't take much more of this.
You note there are at least 4 rings on him as well as an amulet. The amulet is a necklace that can be removed.
[ESCAPE[D] vs DC17 1d20+1=(12,12)]
Struggle as he might, he can't break free.
In a prayer she asks Eldath and SheShe if she should keep it or get rid of it, but she receives no answer. Yulya hopes to offload killing Nezzner to someone else and moves up to Cat bestowing Domain Spell Heroism on her for 0MP.
Alice continues dashing 80ft W stopping at a position 15ft S of Nezzner. As soon as the bugbear chasing her is in view, Alice shoots a blast-component poisoned arrow at him in a [foolish and futile] attempt to put the [nearly full health] poor creature out of its misery.
[HIT vs AC18 1D20+2+3+1d4=8][If there is a range penalty, 5e (disadvantage) is way too harsh, I have taken 3.5e's range penalty of -2 per increment over normal range.]
She misses whatever target she was aiming at.
The stirges continue to feed happily on the Bugbear, though he is close to death.
Bugbear1 continues his blind flailing, coming upon the bulette, he attacks the unconscious creature mercilessly. M3gan panther glances over at him with distaste but continues her task.
[HIT[A] vs AC22 1d20+9=(12,18)(16,17)]
Even his attacks deflect off the stone-like hide of this massive beast.
Yulya feels a presence coming, she doesn't quite understand it yet.

« Last post by Alice on April 19, 2026, 08:21:18 am » I'm not trying to be difficult, but why does it have to be on my finger to begin with? Because the scripted event states an enemy will cut it off? I thought you wanted the ring to be stuck on me. Well then I'll reserve the option to cut it off myself. Even if it's 4 DMG, that's irrelevant compared to being out for a day. I can even heal myself for 1D6 with Hand of Healing if I have Ki points before doing that. Thus I can use the ring safely twice and then remove it for 1D4 DMG penalty. Or use it 3 times and be out until the next day. That correct so far? It's clear that the ring goes into effect with the same charge if I swallow or put it on again immediately, but why would I do that?

Alice tosses one of Ashley's candy-coated herbs into her mouth to get rid of the aftertaste.
Bugbear1 runs blindly west, following the sound of her footsteps and flailing his mace in front of him.Hey, don't blame me, I did what I can for you...
As a bonus action, Alice continues dashing 80ft W stopping at a position 15ft S of Nezzner. As soon as the bugbear chasing her is in view, Alice shoots a blast-component poisoned arrow at him in an attempt to put the poor creature out of its misery. Alice considers luring the bugbear to the ghoul and hiding behind him so the bugbear would hit the ghoul.

So anyway, if magical rings can be removed by cutting off fingers, what keeps me from doing the same with the badger ring?
Imagine after 2 uses in the morning the battle ends. I have 1HP and one use of the ring left. If I go down, I'm out for the rest of the day. If I or someone else cuts off the finger with the ring I may go down from losing 1HP, but I can simply be healed by Yulya and continue. The finger regrows when I re-shape myself anyway. If you wanna prevent this, I strongly suggest leaving the ring in the lolibank where it belongs.

Heroism isn't prescriptive it's descriptive.

And the condition doesn't even end when the caster is dead? Then it would take me until reaching LV10 to break that spell when I get my old form back and be immune to psycho tricks. Irrelevant now.
It appears nobody (except Cat) really wants to attack Nezzner. I'm charmed and Yulya has moral concerns. That leaves M3gan and Cat. How can I be heroic like that? I'll go full Yulya and shove the responsibility on someone else as well. I'll shoot the bugbear with a poison arrow.
