Cursed Rings and the Hand of Glory.


Rules Questions


Relatively simple question. If I place a cursed ring (Ring of Truth)
on a Hand of Glory, can I don and remove the Hand of Glory at will
while still having the forced truth effect work when it's being worn?
Will the hand retain the effects of forcing truth without retaining
the curse effect of not being able to remove it?

Example:

Normal: Place ring on person. They tell me what I want to know. Now
I have to either break curse to remove it or cut the persons finger
off.

What I want: Place Hand of Glory on person. They tell me what I want
to know. Remove Hand of Glory. Toss it in Haversack for later.

a magic ring is placed on one of the fingers of the hand, the wearer benefits from the ring as if wearing it herself, and it does not count against her two-ring limit.

The wearer cannot remove the ring unless the magic of the curse is negated.

As the Hand say that you "benefits from the ring" I am not 100% sure that RAW you suffer the negative consequences of a cursed ring.

Personally I would have it share both benefits and negative effects.

As written the ring can be freely (or better, forcefully) removed by another person even if it on a character finger and the wearer can't remove it even if it is on the Hand of glory.

Again an opinion, but if the ring physically resist being removed, it will resist even if it on the Hand, so it would be difficult to remove the hand.
If it is a form of psychological inability to remove it, the wearer would be unable to remove the ring or the hand wearing it, but a third person could remove it without problems.
