[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1756285, member: 16019"] Well, as far as flavor goes, it makes sense. PCs are limited in their body slots, possibly due to the amount of magic affecting them. For all we know, too many magic items could kill a person due to all of the raw magic in them, and the "limited body slots" could be a failsafe designed by all magic item creators so that they don't explode once they put on that new ring they found. Someone who makes magic items, however, similar to the Attune Magic Weapon description, is going to be able to adjust himself to accomodate more magic- hence, the ability to wear more rings. As far as balance goes, you don't want all of those high-level Fighters running around with more magic items equipped. They have enough as it is. This way, it allows certain people to do it, but with hefty prerequisites. And logic-wise, as far as the limitation goes, someone who makes magic rings (at a lower price than buying them) is going to have more rings than someone who pays full price for them, and possibly has limited access to magic rings. Thus, an Artificer is probably going to own several, whereas a Fighter may only own a Ring of Protection +4 and a Ring of Freedom of Movement. [/QUOTE]
