Item Slots

A slot refers to a rule which limits the number of magic or mechanically beneficial items which can be worn at a time by one character. Each specific location on a humanoid's body where magic items are traditionally worn is known as a slot, and a character can wear no more than one item in each slot.

Even if a character physically manages to wear two items (such as wearing a pair of slippers underneath a pair of boots), the character cannot benefit from both at the same time. Limits on item slots improves both game balance and fairness. Though please note, the item slots only apply to items with magical or mechanical benefits. You can still wear mundane items that do not take up slots (decorative rings or a pair of pants), but do not fill those out in the form.

Please note, you may still only attune to a number of items as per Magical Item Attunement rules on Casting and Magic. We also try to specify which slot items belong to on our Recipe cards and Magic Item list, though if you are unsure, please ask.

You may have a maximum of three "readied weapons" on your person at once. Left, Right, and Lower Back. This includes weapon, staff, spellbook, foci, and wands. These are considered sheathed or ready in your hand and can be drawn as part of your attack action. Obviously common sense applies, in that you cannot have a shield on your arm and a sword in that same hand, etc.
