[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 8249877, member: 31754"] And I think it is fine that the ring/cloak of protection requires attunement. They stack with everything, unlike the BoD, which explicitly does not stack with armor and shields. I haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure you can't wear multiple BoD. Just like you can't wear multiple belts or gloves. So it wouldn't be a problem. Again, I don't think you can stack multiples of the same magic item. If I am somehow wrong about that, then the problem is not with the BoD, it is with the magic item rules in general. And I went ahead and looked it up. DMG p.141. It says to use common sense, but it explicitly states that you can not wear more than one pair of bracers as an example. You would be wrong there, it is because it does [I]more[/I] than just give +3 to hit and damage. A Flame Tongue requires attunement, so does a Frost Brand, Holy Avenger, Nine Lives Stealer, Sun Blade, Sword of Answering, Sword of Life Stealing, Sword of Sharpness, Sword of Vengence, Sword of Wounding, and a Vorpal Sword. Lots of swords, and I haven't even looked at the other weapon types yet. Actually I would agree for the magic armor, but shields require a hand and, as we all know, taking up one of only two hands is a huge disadvantage. ;) [/QUOTE]
