Every other magic item in the game somehow resizes itself to fit anyone that wants to wear it... but not his one?

Just thought that was funny....

One item from the banter box of Euphonia also looks like a necklace, but equips like a gem ...

I guess we need 2 gem slots now ...

The Guardian Dagger from STK is another non-resizing item.

Cunning Trinket

All trinkets from there if I recall correctly. They all appears as amulets but equip to the trinket slot, which is why I always have to hunt for them in my bank... :s 1st world banking problems!

Nothing to fix here, it is WAI

Grim is a giant, his bracelet is therefore 'big'. Big enough to fit around a PC's neck :)

As to why it looks like a ring, well what's the difference between a ring and a bracelet? (other than size, which is not shown in the icon)


It seems one of the Grim brothers (you're not sure which one) wore this bracelet around his wrist. Due to its size it will probably only fit you around your neck.

Same with many other Giant-related items. Example:

Stormreaver's napkin is a napkin... but big enough to be used as a cloak


You hold in your hand the huge cloth napkin that was used by the Stormreaver in his final meal before the great cataclysm. You can't tell if the red stains on its surface are of wine or blood, but it does seem that everything is so much easier to understand now.

Yeah, I've always thought it was funny that Grim's Bracelet is a necklace that looks like a ring. His ring probably would be the right size for a necklace though.

Bellow's Ring is another one, it's a ring worn by a Minotaur but a Necklace on player characters.

I thought it was supposed to look like that. A giants bracelet would easily fit over my elf's head.

I'm fine with it being a necklace. It's oversized. Similarly to how the stormreavers napkin is worn as a cloak. But the picture should be of bracers, or a similar "wrist" accessory, not a ring.

And how long is your neck that something as long as bracers would fit? ;) My daughter has some bracelets that look quite similar to Grim's but in different colors so I have no problem with the picture.
