[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4011020, member: 40359"] My opinion on this "stupid" change is... I don't know what rings do, so I'm not jumping to conclusions and condemning the whole thing. From the sounds of the article, it's not just "if it goes on your finger, you have to wait until 11th level." From the sounds of it, rings are tangibly different than a glove in what sort of magic they do which are in turn tangibly different from a cloak, etc. Sounds like the "guidelines" they had in 3.x that certain magic items should be for certain things is a more solid rule. Rings only do certain things. Cloaks only do certain things. Perhaps what rings can actually do are powerful enough that a lower level character can't control that much magic. Easy to add in a rule for "misfire" effects rather than "can't find the on switch", but I certainly don't know what's already in there and what 4e rings will do. Without more information I don't really see much point in voting in an obviously biased poll. ;) [/QUOTE]
