Should rings be able to function for low level characters?

[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4010326, member: 1054"] Which just makes things worse...I can see a sentient, self-aware item refusing to grant its powers to some nobody...but a simple ring of protection +1? This is like saying that if you give an assault rifle to a 12 year old boy with no combat training, the gun will refuse to fire. It might be very dangerous to the user and others, it might be aimed very poorly, but it's not going to say "You can't pull the trigger, you're not skilled enough!" I eagerly await the inevitable apologia where we're told how this makes the game More Fun, and if you had ninth level characters with magic rings in 3.5, you Weren't Having Fun. It's a shame, because, other than that ring idiocy, the rest of the article was the best news I've heard about 4e. [/QUOTE]
