[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4010209, member: 32164"] Well, to be fair, there's an idea that predates Legacy items known as "Covenant Items." Those were introduced in Fantasy Flight's [i]Midnight[/i] Campaign Setting, and started out as ordinary items. When a character reached a certain level, the items would manifest powers. Essentially, Fourth Edition Rings sound to me like Covenant Items that have their powers kick in at 11th-level. The real question here is really "what do rings do?" In Third Edition, there's nothing distinctive about rings. They're just one extra spot to stick any random power. In Fourth Edition, that might be very different. I think it's highly likely they've nailed down something very powerful, and specific, to make finding a "magic ring" truly special. And if they have to restrict them to 11th-level or higher, and reduce the number of them you can have until 21st to make that work, I say "good." [/QUOTE]
