Zombie ring and Rasaad

So I equipped Rasaad with the zombie ring as punishment for always dying. I noticed though that he now moves at normal speed. So I was wondering, does this ring set movement to normal speed or slow a character down. Meaning, if it was equipped on someone already moving at normal speed, would they move slower, or just normally. Also is this intended behavior? As a side note, it should help him die less since he's not running into battle as quickly anymore when I'm not paying attention. Although recently I've relegated him to my invisible scout, who just watches fights from the sidelines (at this point I'm only keeping him around cause I intend to do his quest whenever it triggers).

    It might be setting the speed to that of a zombie, which would be slower than normal; Rasaad's monk speed bonus would increase that value, making him move at normal speed.

    I'll check it out when I get home tonight; that's an interesting facet I didn't know about.

    Yeah, the Zombie Ring does indeed slow walking speeds.

    Lol what a funny way to keep him from running off. Might be the best ring for him :)

    On a side note, wasn't there a feature in IWD 2 that if a monk or barbarian is selected along with other haracters they move at the same speed? I might be misremembering that, but if so it's a feature that would be most helpful.

    My original intent wasn't to prevent him running off, though it was a nice side effect :) My initial intent was to humiliate him for always dying, well if he always wants to die, why not make him undead! Anyway, he hasn't died since hehe though he has come close on several occasions.
