creatures & limit on magic items worn

[Mystendanian]

In the DMG, it lists the limit on magic items worn (for instance, 1 cloak, cape, or mantle). In the listing it says, "2 rings."

Does that mean that a creature with 4 arms could only use 2 magic rings? I know that ultimately it is up to the DM to decide on how he/she interprets the rules for their own campaign, but I was curious if YOU would let a 4-armed creature (say for instance, a Thri-Kreen Character) wear 4 magic rings.

Thanks for your response,

If he took the Savage Species feat "Extra Item Space" twice, sure

The feat allows something with extra arms or heads or whatever an extra slot... so an ettin can normally only benefit from one necklace and one helmet, but if he takes the Extra Item Space feat, he can add another necklace slot. Or helmet slot. Or goggles slot. Or something else related to having two heads.

Lol!

I just bought Savage Species this week, but hadn't read that yet. Thanks for bringing that feat to my attention!

Note that in 3.5 the "2 ring" limit does not seem to be based on the number of limbs. The DMG says that both rings can be worn on on hand.
