Good Topic.

I wonder about Gimli. The dwarves had the power to resist the effects of the dwarven rings. They never turned into wraiths (much to Sauron's dismay). The one ring was much stronger though, so this natural resistance would likely be overwhelmed.

I think he better the person, the more good, the more innocent (not meaning ignorant) or pure their soul was, the better chance they would have to resist for a longer time. I think that is why hobbits are good.

Also, Gandalf would be good. Once he was corrupted by the ring, it would be very very very bad. (is this an understatement - even with all the verys???)
