[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5466116, member: 2011"] The rules also have physical limits, armbands and a shield being an explicit called out exception to the physical limits. Practically speaking, one cannot have two shields on the same arm. Two helmets. Two armors. Having armbands and a shield is a physical limitation exception explicitly called out in this section as far as wearing and carrying, but not using. If you read the bolded sentence here, there is a RAW case to not allow the two at the same time because that sentence is not explicitly limited to magical functionality. It states that the second item does not function. People only assume that this is talking solely about magical functionality because the second sentence comes after the first sentence and they make a "context" association. But that's not explicitly what the bolded sentence states. One can carry a shield based on the first sentence, but that doesn't mean that one can use it and gain it's functionality if that PC has armbands on as well. This, of course, is debatable. But allowing someone to wear two sets of armor is not RAW or RAI. Since we are talking about a slot item, please show the rule where it states that armor is different than a helmet and can have two physical sets of armor in the slot. Or two sets of boots? Or using two weapons in the same hand. I consider these to be physical limitations and trying to get around them to be an attempt to game the system. Could you cool your jets with regard to the backhanded calling me a hypocrit? I choose neither. A is not allowed and B is not allowed from my reading of RAW. In fact, Summoned Armor explicitly doesn't allow the armor to come back if the user is wearing any other armor (including cloth armor). To me, this is just another indication that RAI is that only one armor can be worn at a time. [/QUOTE]
