The Guard's Ring, also known as Ring of Protection +2, is a more powerful version of the Ring of the Princes +1. It offers +2 bonus to armor class and all saving throws. This item appears in all games of the series.
Description[]
| “ | Ring of protection +2: The Guard's Ring. The guard was an immortal sentry assigned to protect a tomb that sheltered the body of a princess of the Akanal. Over millennia respect for the grave disappeared with the memory of the royal family, and adventurers began to try their luck with the Guard. It was inevitable that he would eventually be bested, and when he was, the ring he wore was one of many treasures taken from the tomb. |
