[QUOTE="FadedC, post: 4401041, member: 55463"] Actually that is the only legitimate rules basis for your argument....your claim that the rules don't specify magical property when they talk about item slot. Because the rules outright say that if you wear bracers and a shield, you only recieve the benefit of the item you put on first, this would mean that putting on non magical bracers first would invalidate the use of a shield (magical or otherwise). The fact that non magical bracers provide no benefit do not change the fact that only the first item put on has an effect. If your trying to claim common sense, well then obviously that's not the case. But your whole argument is not based on common sense. It's based on the claim that the rules specifically say you can't have bracers and a shield, regardless of magical properties. Despite the fact that there is no game balance or logic reason for that to be illegal. As a side note i'd say your claim that bracers of defence give more protection then any magical shield bonus is highly questionable, given that they only apply to a single attack and use up your daily item use which is often far better used for other better protective properties.
