Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvvega" data-source="post: 5303299" data-attributes="member: 524">My personal opinion is that putting on/removing an item is a standard action since equipping/stowing a shield is a standard action.Why do I think this? Because shields are a slot item as well (Arms in this case). So it would make sense that other slot items are the same - and this action is the closest to equipping magic items.  In addition, the only "magic items" that seem to be a minor action to equip are weapons (which are sheathed, not clasped around your neck).Dropping/Picking Up/Retrieving an item is a minor action.With the "first item put on" rule from PHB that makes your little sequence not very practical anymore.I would read that the way the rules seem to be written is to force you to remove slot items in the order they were put on - last to first. This would obviously make it impractical to do these kinds of "creative" things.And if your DM wants to be a right pain he can rule that if you remove the amulet, the cloak does not work any because it was not the "first" item put onto that slot. And then if you put the amulet back on it will work again.So yes I think that I would rule that you must remove the cloak then remove the amulet then put the cloak on - like a stack of boxes.Even if you want to argue equipping the items is a minor action, you still need to remove them in order IMHO.D</blockquote>
