[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6162402, member: 6669384"] Universal Energy Resistance is too pricy to be commonly used. But Rings of Fire Resistance are very common, as are Lightning, Cold and Acid. Sonic doesn't come into play that much, but it's still in the running. As I said, multiple or "universal" resistance rings are far more rare, largely because of the price. If the goal is to lower the price on this type of item so that they're more commonly used/available, the Power creep" factor has to be considered. Normally a PC has to choose what type of resistance they want to send their money/ring slot on. (The slot is often more of an issue than the money). A slotless ring costs twice as much. Getting the second one added to an existing ring is actually cheaper than the second, slotted ring. The third one is even cheaper. But even at "cheaper", PCs run into money woes. Even at a discount, it gets too expensive. Selling the same item at a lower price, as the MIC does, is simply a way of saying "Here's more power that's within your budget". Again I ask, how is that anything but power creep? [/QUOTE]
