[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 328489, member: 4937"] Well, as long as we are fishing for ideas: 1) The above is good, but you might want to specify exactly what the purpose of the [i] suggestions [/i] is as well as list examples of them. The purpose of the suggestions is always to further the rings special purpose, [i]Return to Sauron[/i]. These suggestions therefore fall into four categories: a) suggestions to retain or gain ownership of the ring, b) temptations to use the ring so as to speed your corruption and make you more controllable by the ring, c) temptations to claim power for yourself (and thus make you more visible to Sauron) and d) suggestions to keep the ring safe from harm. 2) "It's been so growing on my mind lately..." When physically touched, the ring emanates a Sympathy spell to whomever touched it (DC 23, otherwise same as for suggestions, except that it is only cumulative +1 per year of ownership). I agree that the CHR goes up as it nears its master, but that's probably a difficult thing to judge, +1 CHR per 50 miles closer than 400 miles? I don't know. I also agree that it allows you to percieve the minds of the other ring wearers, and ultimately (once you master the ring) command the other rings of power as if you yourself were wearing them. However, I think this is a trained ability and not something you just get by wearing the ring. I'm inclined to think that Frodo's ability to percieve the mind of Galadriel was due to his high wisdom further increased by the native power enhancing aspect of the ring. Frodo was naturally perceptive, and so he became supernaturally perceptive as the possesser of the ring. He wasn't using [i] Detect Thoughts (Ringbears) [/i] because he hadn't trained himself to master the ring, and in fact only evokes the rings greater powers specifically at one point in the story (when he lays the geas/curse on Gollum).
