[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2617693, member: 31734"] I never answered this. No, it wouldn't be different because the prerequisites do not in any way adjudicate the item unless the prerequisite coincides with the description and is specifically mentioned (e.g. winged boots of flying). To all who agree with this reason for voting no, let me point out two things. (1) This point is totally irrelevent with respect to the rules. You are basically voting your emotion and not the rule. (2) If you claim someone is 'way too cheap' (dare I rephrase it as unbalanced?) you really need to back that up. I disagree with that assertion. In fact, I'd say quite the opposite that by voting no you are making the ring too weak for its price. My players, and I as a player, use these rings quite frequently in our games and even by voting Yes it is nowhere near unbalanced. I repeat, nowhere near. I'd say that by our 'extensive' playtesting (I did say we use them quite frequently), I think they'd be better priced at 3000gp. By far and away the best spell to put in the ring is either dispel magic or greater dispel magic. In either case, it's a one-time event and very rare at that. You basically spend your 4000gp and [I]hope and pray that you get targeted with the spell you chose[/I]. [/QUOTE]
