[QUOTE="James the Newbie, post: 5868073, member: 6692006"] Sorry. What I am wondering is about the legality AND xp of this item the thing about the ring is, it doesn't actually change your 'effective level' as its not a permanent change. So no slower levelling from levelling up. This means you could be in a party of 4 an be VERY unbalanced if you took a ring of mind flayer (ok there a race I'm enjoying the look of right now) or Tarasque or Chromatic dragon. ------- Me as a player perspective: The original idea was a bag of magic rings for this character, let you be very versatile, and have a feat to make swapping rings a free action (Not too unreasonable). Then I Stumbled upon the cursed item section of the DM's guide, and found I could become any race to some degree its fair and fun, change to a gariloon for strength, a Pegasus for speed and such, be fairly powerful but function well in a party (And struggle to remove the ring sadly) Then I added the idea to a mind flayer making it less balanced, but workable, a strong race, not too domineering or making my fighter feel worthless. And at last a tarasque (Chromatic dragon if you want something stronger). This means I could beat just about anything, and leave my party feeling bored. ---------- I am wondering, would you allow these rings in the first place, and what would you guys charge for them? Since there 'technically a bad thing' so 'should' be much cheaper than a normal ring. The other benefit is because its wish, you could add these effects to an already magic ring. Largly I am asking as I am considering making a faction who works based on the idea they can use a ring to improve their challenge rating in combat. They would peruse looking for rare creatures, and would attack an adventurer who was going to kill one before they could study the creatures, letting my PC's get some good rings. But I need to price these rings and consider the long term effects of giving my PC's a ring that gives them some massive stat boosts and versatility. [/QUOTE]
