[QUOTE="Goumindong, post: 4399769, member: 70874"] No, only two of them work as per the item slot rules. You get to choose. He is saying he can use a shield and bracers at the same time. He cannot, he gets to choose. Non magical rings have no benefit so it doesn't matter whether or not you stack up on them. Page 224 is my reference. Right after it says (and this is not rules text, but example text), that you can put on a bracer and shield it says that you only can benefit from ONE of them. So you can either benefit from the bracer or you can benefit from the shield, but not benefot from both. Furthermore there is absolutely nothing preventing you from putting two sets of armor on, especially when one is cloth. Nothing is preventing you from putting two helmets on if one of them fits over the other. Nothing prevents you from putting on a helmet and goggles. The text only prevents the one you put on second from having any mechanical effect on the game. But you can only benefit from one at a time, and the one you benefit from is the one you put on first, that is pretty explicit. That is, if that example text is taken as rule text rather than example text. The rules state, and I quote: Pg 224. "Practically speaking, you can wear bracers and carry a shield at the same time. You benefit from the item you put on first; any other item you put on doesn't function for you until you take off the first item." Note, they do not say "you can [B]use[/B] bracers and a shield at the same time". And it does say that you only benefit from the item you put on first. Note: The rules do not say "you gain no benefit from the magical properties" or "you gain no magical benefit", it makes no distinction. You simply gain no benefit and get no function. [/QUOTE]
