Ring of Evermemory unique equipped

Wolfheart

What happens: Unable to equip two evermemory rings and gives "Can't use item error" when you try.
What should happen: Being able to equip two evermemory rings. (Yes its cheesy and end up with 4x the spellslots instead of 3x) Alt. Error message along the lines of "You can't equip two of those"

It's not a bug, its a feature - the rings of evermemory are not supposed to stack

Wolfheart

Yet if you read the lore/flavor text, that's exactly what they did for the creator of the rings. "Cannot that item." is a very bad error text compared to what happens when you try to equip two rings of protection. Then the error message is : "This item cannot be equipped due to other magical equipment you are currently wearing."

In short, either its a bug that you get a bad error message compared to the normal one for conflicting equipment, or its a bug that you can't equip two of them.

The error message needs fixing.

It should write something similar to what is written in ToB.
"You may not use two rings of wizardry at the same time."

Last I checked there was only one....unless they've added another one...

Wolfheart

So? Not everyone plays from the start with their chars. If stuff bugs or goes haywire I'll export the char and start over. Thus I have two evermemory.

You can obtain two before the end of the game.

One's the infamous FAI ring and the other one is dropped by an angry mage in Baldur's Gate who attacks you when you enter his house.

And what will happen in bg2ee with ring of wizardys and ring of acuity? I think they should remove this limitation.
1. Because of the item description which clearly states that you can use more of them.
2. It's not too overpowered. Most battles will be finished before you can run out of spells anyway.

Only allowing one of these rings is like saying a fighter can only equip 1 magic weapon even if he dual wields, ALSO D&D rules STATE you can have a magic ring on each hand. Only noted discrepancy is armor class modifiers that limits you to one per person. These rings do not alter AC in any manner therefore D&D rules state two are allowed, on top of all this my first point, if I can't wear two rings, one on each hand, then you can't use two swords, one in each hand.
