[QUOTE="Sir Brennen, post: 4010277, member: 553"] Why? What do you think these rings do that makes them qualified for lower level characters? Seems to me they've got all the bases covered between all the other slots and wondrous items. What will rings do that other items can't and must be available at heroic levels? What is the basis of your assertation that having them at lower level will make them more fun? Why is the assumption "the design team made rings unavailable until 11th level... just because"? Given how hard they've worked to make races and monsters and cosmology work both mechanically and story-wise, why assume this restriction is made arbitrarily? I for one would love it if 4E rings were now all on the scale of Rings of Elemental Command or Three Wishes, and therefore geared towards higher level play. I want them to be something special, not just another slot that can have the same bonuses or abilities I could have on some other item anyway. Just take your +10 Jumping bonus and stick it up your boot. :p [/QUOTE]
