[QUOTE="Hellefire, post: 3089142, member: 28129"] Thanks for the link! That did clear a few things up. For example, rings of protection no longer stack. I also noticed this at the end: "When you have an inherent bonus to an ability score, you're limited to a +5 inherent bonus to any single ability score. Since an inherent bonus has a name, it won't stack with another inherent bonus (so be careful with those manuals and tomes)." So...you can only get one inherent bonus to each ability ever (from magic books, wish spells, etc). Wish gives +1, but if repeatedly cast in immediate succession can be stacked up to +5 on a single ability. Just make sure your wife doesnt interrupt you with a phone call in the middle, since you can never again add an inherent bonus to that stat. It also kind of makes me wonder why people would make anything less than +5 books. I think I am going to devalue the lower bonus ones a bit, since they are one time only (as they used to be). Or add to the value of the +5 one. I could give a +1 book as a 'magnificent present' to that annoying uncle I don't really like. Anyway, back to the original concern - from what I read, rings of protection do NOT stack now. I'm going to go with that unless anyone has any other ideas/links/etc that would prove otherwise. Kind of a sad day for my naked spellcasters though :). Aaron [/QUOTE]
