[QUOTE="ktm71, post: 338731, member: 5340"] I think the Invisibility was controllable. Gandalf had the Elven Ring of Fire & it seemed to allow him to disappear at times. For example look at the Hobbit: While in the goblin caves, he blasted a couple of goblins with a spell & vanished. He later appeared in the goblin cave. In DnD terms, I'd say he cast a spell & willed the ring to make him invisible (move equivalent or even free action). He then just followed the rest of the party until a suitable moment of surprise was available. Additionally the other Elven rings of power were able to hide themselves from view (cast invis on an object?). Only Frodo could see Galadriel's ring because of the powers the One was giving him. In a Dragon Mag from about a year ago, they presented the concept of a LEVELED MAGIC ITEM. If the Rings of Power are thus leveled items, then at low "user level" the DCs to get powers to occur on command are high & the save DCs from side effects are low (to model the idea that the Ring hasn't consumed much of the wearer's life). So at 0th level (as when Bilbo found the ring), the ring would only provide Invisibility (a high Will save to negate, say DC 50. Will Save only allowed if the user has SOME knowledge that he could prevent the effect). As the user puts in more focus in controlling the Ring (by spending XP on it), the DC drops (so at user level 1 the Invis Control DC is 40-45?). Other powers are granted at higher user level, and worse penalties appear as well (say at 6th user level, Scry Other Ring & some powerful penalty). Great work on the list of powers! I'm stealing them for my campaign (seriously distorted Tolkien -> Isildur destroyed the One Ring, but the others maintained their power. So the Nine are independent now)). ktm [/QUOTE]
