I bought a Ring of Psychic Resistance once for 4000gp, and I regretted the purchase... right up until I got hit with 2 Mind Blasts in a row waaaay later in the game. I had a similar reaction, except I had a physical prop ring to flail around at everyone who ever questioned my purchase.

Fast forward a couple of weeks. And they are all horrified as the intellect devourers are blasting everyone.

It's a big ask but has anyone gotten how much hp the ring has absorbed? I would love to know the hp/gold cost of that ring. (I know that potentially stopping a player from going down saves a turn and improves action economy thus has grater value than just equivalent hp gained but still)
I can't stop thinking about this question, so here's my breakdown based on the moments I found through transcripts + CritRoleStats.

Lord Sutan was someone the MN helped frame and connect to the myriad early in the campaign. The break in episode to steal a wax seal the same night as the attack in Zadash when the Beacon was stolen.
I think the best part of all this is immediately after that final damage reduction, Jester took triple-digit impalement damage and became a corpse...the ring kinda was useless after all.

I cant help but love it when matt says "a ring of fire *resistanccccce* in that smooth french accent~
The way this clip is cut makes the costumes from the Halloween episode exponentially more absurd.
Joy.
I can NOT wait for this to be animated - a normally reserved and introspective Fjord just losing his fucking mind over the ring.
the hard cut to the halloween episode is always so funny
Wow the ring turned from brass to platinum. Must have awakened while Ford was wearing it O:
Well don't forget that salesperson was a complete crook
lol it also went from garnet to ruby
I absolutely love how he bought the ring and IMMEDIETLY they all went to the coldest place in Exandria

Their kid is going to start out with that ring at first level... and be a tiefling with fire resistance.
so happy to see your edits again!! this was so great
And on that day, Travis had no idea he was buying a second engagement ring for his wife.
At least in my mind.
I mean, that would be awesome. If he took the rind in the last episode and went down on one knee and just went: Genevieve "Jester" Lavorre
“One day someone is going to inherit it and it’s going to be really meaningful”
So… that’s the engagement ring?
You have no idea how accurate that is and also their kid is gonna love it
Jester's "eh, I've got this ring of fire resistance" five minutes after getting it was COLD
This is so fjucking good thank you
