[QUOTE="eleran, post: 4100591, member: 26319"] I'm going to take a different tack in answering your questions. You claim that you have a hard time thinking about these things In Character. Why is your character wondering why he has healing surges and others (I presume monsters) don't? Shouldn't your character be thankful for whatever it is the gods imbued him with to help keep him alive out in the desolate monster filled world? And why is amazingly self-aware enough to realize that monsters don't have these healing surges, whatever they are? At what point does your character come to realize that he cant wear a ring before 10th level? Actually I will take it a step back and ask when your character became conscious of levels at all? If your character never runs across a ring before he is 10th lvl how does he even know they wont work for him before that? I am really sorry for the snark, but I am coming to the conclusion that 1 of 2 things is going on out there in the D&D world. Either some peoples ability to disbelieve is much weaker than others, or a lot of people out there cannot keep themselves from metagaming and claim it is IC thinking and therefore the fault of the rules system. But, maybe it's just me. [/QUOTE]
