Hello,

I have a question about the ring of shield minding.

If you die while wearing the ring, your soul enters it, unless it already houses a soul. You can remain in the ring or depart for the afterlife. As long as your soul is in the ring, you can telepathically communicate with any creature wearing it. A wearer can't prevent this telepathic communication.

What is the advantage to have the soul in the ring ? Prevent to become an undead ? No limit for the duration of the death for the ressurection or reincarnate ?

It's better to survive to wear a ring of shield minding or a cloak of elvenkind ?

For letting your soul enter the ring, there are some advantages:

• Allows you to communicate with your allies after death
• Prevents a fiend from claiming your soul as part of an infernal contract
• Avoid having your soul destroyed or captured by certain magic items

For having a ring with someone else's soul within, you effectively have someone who can potentially provide knowledge and insight.
