[QUOTE="Ogrork the Mighty, post: 2359013, member: 19042"] Had an interesting debate over this recently. A couple players argued that the blending ability of the ring is enough to grant you a Hide check when otherwise you could not (e.g. no concealment or cover). I argued that the ring allows you to blend and grants you a +10 bonus to Hide checks, BUT the fact remains that you need to qualify for a Hide check in the first place (concealment/cover).
