[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4031184, member: 29206"] That would be the first time I have ever heard of this - rings have always seemed generally interchangable with wondrous items to me for as long as I've played D&D and RPGs derived from it, and I haven't heard of any previous "legendary" status (in the RPG world, as opposed to in fiction - Lord of the Rings, certainly, but...) nor any widespread movement to make rings have some sort of status other than interchangable with wondrous items. Likewise, my objection is more that it's completely incompatible with what I want out of D&D than any comparison to other media. I'm honestly wondering what the new concept for rings is in 4th Edition, and depending on what will almost certainly enter a houserule into games of it that I run - it's more a matter of which one than whether or not I will at this point. If 4e rings have a unique set of powers where it makes sense that they are not available at levels 1-10, then I'd be likely to say that everyone gets two Ring slots from level 1 that are as previous editions' "interchangable with wondrous items" rings, and at level 11 one upgrades to a Greater Ring slot and at level 21 both do. If 4e rings are interchangable with wondrous items as printed, then everyone gets two Ring slots from level 1 and my opinion of 4e's design falls slightly. [/QUOTE]
