Just tested locally with various rings of protection from the 2E DMG to be sure and seems to work. Specifics? Extensions?

works ok on Character sheets ring of protection.PNG
but not on the NPC sheets, the bullywug stays at AC 6. I tried on a character and it worked ok, i thought i would see and effect for the AC on the Iem sheet like there is for the Save modifier

Armor doesn't affect NPCs at all. It's only useful to have for weapon v armor or to drag/drop the npc onto the Party Sheet inventory list and drop all those items there. The armor value used is the value set for the NPC on their sheet.

ok I assumed as dropping weapons on the inventory slot of the NPC had an effect items effecting AC would as well

I know its not going to be a pressing issue Celestian, but how do you recommend dealing with intelligent Swords, treat them as a NPC or as a item?

So if you create an NPC as a PC and then clone to NPC it will grab the AC from the PC sheet when you clone.

Rustmonster.

Effects will be used. AC granted from the ring of protection is not an effect. It works like a shield mechanically.

Right now, manual. For the most part it's an RP thing, not a mechanical thing. Store any private information you want to keep from the player in the DM section on the item.

Could we get a few examples of scrolls with divine/arcane spells on them with the effects configured properly to appear on the PC and NPC Actions tab under the Powers sub-tab?
