BlackSymphony Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So for those not as well informed as to what this is, a Body ring is a type of stat gain item in the Fire Emblem series that increases the constitution stat in some games. Constitution basically measures your body and how much you can carry, including other units when rescuing, if that is present in the game, or the ability to carry weapons in others. What I want to know is, what do you think happens with somebody when a Body Ring is used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumber Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The ring is actually a waist band that increases the unit's mass considerably. There. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 this is actually the most important question that's ever been asked on here, I wish I knew the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritisa Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 basically the same thing as LoZ's goron bracelets. It increases the capacity of things you can lift, without actually altering your body itself. Same with Energy Rings. This is especially obvious in the Body Ring's case as the increase in con is displayed as a permanent green "buff" stat, rather than adding +2 to the old one.

Maritisa Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Actually I'd have to double check that. I feel like the Body Ring doesn't actually make it harder to rescue someone, since it's counted as a buff not a hard stat? Even if it does ehhh it'd make sense if it did something like that. Counterbalance. No hard physical change, but enough to offset the strength increase to prevent this object from freaking breaking your flimsy little arms. The Energy Ring on the other hand just, uh, puts more force behind what you do? I mean that'd explain to a degree why it works on magic too.

NekoKnight Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Using it enables the character to get HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltre Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 A unit who uses the Body Ring gets a small increase in their mass, reflected in game by an increase to their constitution stat. Unfortunately, the increase in mass makes their hands too big for the ring, causing it to get stuck permanently on whatever finger they placed it. That's why you can only use it once. That's my headcannon and I'm sticking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradivus. Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The same thing that happens when using a Speedwing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I always imagined them just wearing it like a competitive fighting champion's belt that weighs as much as 2 points of Constitution and also makes them stronger by, like, emboldening them or something.
