Available item slots?

[karash]

I've read it before, but now I cannot seem to find it. Which book lists the available item slots on your character?

Thanks

The DMG lists it before the magic item lists, but here it is from the SRD:

LIMIT ON MAGIC ITEMS WORN
Only so many items of a certain kind can be worn and be effective at the same time. The limits include the following:
1 headband, hat, helmet, or phylactery
1 pair of eye lenses or goggles
1 cloak, cape, or mantle
1 amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, or scarab
1 suit of armor
1 robe
1 vest, vestment, or shirt
1 pair of bracers or bracelets
1 pair of gloves or gauntlets
2 rings
1 belt
1 pair of boots
This general rule applies to other attempts to “double up” on magic items—for instance, if a character puts on another magic cloak on top of the one he is already wearing, the second cloak’s power does not work.

Each of the hands is also basically a "slot" although it isn't covered specifically there. Each hand can have one weapon or shield in it.

This really SHOULD be in the PH. It's pretty darn important to players.

 

[Janos Antero]

Agreed, although I think the logic was that since magic items are only covered in the DMG, the slot list should be too.

And for anyone using psonics:

Magic/Psionic Item Slots
1 headband, hat, helmet, or circlet
1 pair of eye lenses or goggles, or mask
1 cloak, cape, or mantle
1 amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, scarab, torc, or psionatrix
1 suit of armor
1 robe
1 vest, vestment, or shirt
1 pair of bracers, bracelets, or psionic restraints
1 pair of gloves or gauntlets
2 rings
1 belt
1 pair of boots
Unique Psionic Slots
1 third eye

Each of the hands is also basically a "slot" although it isn't covered specifically there. Each hand can have one weapon or shield in it.

You can carry some other item in your hand if you use a small shield, though you can't fight with it. And with a buckler you can fight with a weapon (though at a penelity).

You can always carry/wear more than is on those slot lists, e.g., you can wear ten necklaces, three belts and two pairs of gloves. You just can't utilize more than one magic item in each of those slots.

 

[Janos Antero]

Yup, like Dingleberry said. For example while you can have a buckler and a weapon in the same hand, you can only get the benefit of one of them at a time.

Note: Shield Expert Feat seems to make an exception to the above comment.
