Cool way to get more rings

When fighting Kangaxx, you can pickpocket him just when he appears in his normal form (you gotta be quick so it's a good idea to find out where he will appear and get a thief to stand next to the point) maybe your thief will be destroyed, but what won't you do for a Ring of Gaxx.
after you kill Kangy you will get a second ring.

Maybe this only works in a unpatched version, but it's worth a try

You can also picpocket Tolgerias the first time you meet him, by that you will get a Ring of the Ram, and a second one if you kill him in the Planar Sphere.

They are good on a kensai too, since they dont wear armor.
U also dont need to use healing potions when u got them. Just put them on, on someone that is hurt, and u will recover 2 hp per/sec :D :D :D

And with the ioun stone that gives a AC bonus (can't remember what it's called) and also regenerates HP you are nearly invincible

U mean the Wong Fei's Ioun Stone.

1+ AC
+15 hp
Regenerates 1 hp every 6 sec.. I think thats the best stone

Everyone is entitled to enjoy the game however they want. But that strategy is a bit cheesy. Why not get Shadow Keeper and get 6 rings?!

Just my opinion. I'm an old P&P guy and play by the rules.

getting two rings is cheesy, getting six by SK is cheating, it maybe sometimes a thinline, but it's still there... of course if you equip them on one person the char becomes pretty uber, but still it's fun to explore/exploit the loopholes the designers/testers missed

just install balderdash patch, kangaxx gates in mad as hell and quite hostile, so no exploit, unless you use mind control circlet....giggle,


I simply raised the sate of cheesyness to the advanced level....

you can exploit even with balderdash patch!!! a pickpocket exploit in planar sphere...go inv, pickpocket lavok, then have rest of party walk in. you can get two rings of acuity...

hmmm. i wonder if you use mind control circlet you can pickpocket him despite patch, since you can direcharm him in lich form, then have him walk into nest of delay blast fireballs and have him commit suicide...
