[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5621437, member: 6674931"] I don't see anything murky about it. [COLOR="Olive"]Activation Usually, a ring’s ability is activated by a command word (a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity) or it works continually. Some rings have exceptional activation methods, according to their descriptions.[/COLOR] When there is a command word involved, durations comes into play, when not ([COLOR="olive"][B][COLOR="Lime"][/COLOR][COLOR="Lime"]or[/COLOR][/B] it works continually[/COLOR]) the duration is infinite. The ring of invisibility requires activation, therefore, has a duration. I disagree. The way I see it, it is much more dramatic and relevant, when a trespasser has to pay attention to when and where he "speaks" (command word) so as to refresh the duration. Timing your "refresh" when going into a castle full of guards and people that might hear you, is very challenging, fun and very dramatic! ...Imagine the trespasser waiting for the guards to make a pass down the narrow hallway, but then... the guards decide to stand/stay close to him and to have a chit chat or whatever have you... ...Now either the space is sealed by doors (opening them might reveal his presence), or the trespasser is lousy at Move Silently so he can't actually risk to move away from the guards so as to speak and refresh the effect... I LOVE such challenges!!!:) As for the cost... Come on guys... this is a RING OF INVISIBILITY!!! It SHOULD be expensive!! ...The One Ring was a ring of Invisibility (among other things:p) [/QUOTE]
