In my group's most recent game we almost suffered a TPK, my character was one that died, and I am now building a new character. Im making a Paladin who uses a Bastard Sword and has a Ring of Force Shield. I have recently gotten into a "discussion" with one of the other players about said ring and how I am ignoring rules for flavor.
I had asked the GM online if I could use the Bastard Sword two handed and still apply the benefits of the ring, he said yes. Now the player is saying how I shouldnt be able to do that and that the ring will be pretty much moot in battle. I had assumed since the text said it was weightless and encumbrance free I wouldnt be applying any sort of penalty.
How would this work?
