[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3357972, member: 2477"] Geography heightening the rings power (as opposed to time) seems to fit. Though of course, Sauron's growing power has some connection. It's also possible that he grew stronger as the ring returned towards him. Frodo might have been able to hold the ring for a long while, had he not continually advanced towards Mt Doom. Theoretically of course. I think it all comes down to Sauron's confidence in the rings corrupting ability, and it's desire to return to him. Plus he doesn't understand the idea that others might not use the ring for power, just as he does. Giving it to hobbits and getting them to sneak past defenses would never occur to him. Besides, my players would have hated 'destroying the villain by destroying his ring". They'd have to melee the guy at some point, or be eternally unhappy with the game. That's beside the Witchking being invulernable to all the PC's except for the DM's GF's PC. "But you guys got to kill the pirate leader guy!" "We never even got his name!" [/QUOTE]
