TOPIC: Token Slots

Thought this was more general topic than about tokens, so...

Is there some type of guide regarding equipping your character for tokens? Some things are obviously like you can only wear one helmet and carry one shield. And the Player's Guide covers a few like a maximum of five Ioun Stones. But other things I, as a new player, just can't figure out. For example, how many rings can I wear? How my earcuffs? (I'd guess two, but I've seen people in the real world wearing more.) How many holy symbols? How many amulets? Is their a guide out there that tells me that information?

That's a fair question.

There should be a figure in the token guide or related book that shows it.

The online character generator is a great way to figure that stuff out also

Two rings, two earcuffs, 5 ioun, 3 charms. Everything else, one.
But a single shield can be in two slots at once: melee offhand and ranged offhand.
Some items don't take a slot (mistletoe, holy symbol, thieves tools, etc)
Fun, huh?

But I agree, online character generator is great at sorting out the bonuses and keeping you honest.

I had the same questions a year or two ago. Here is what I learned (and if any one sees a problem with what is listed below please tell me):
<table border="1" cellpadding="1">

Slot	Max	Examples	Clarifications
Back	1	cloaks, surcoats
Torso/Armor	1	leather, hide, chain, plate, robes, vests	not vestments, those are considered shirts
Charm	3	charms	a Charm Necklace will grant 3 additional slots
Ear	2	earcuffs
Eyes	1	goggles, lenses, spectacles	not to be confused with helms and hats
Feet	1	boots
Hands	1	gloves, gauntlets
Head	1	caps, coifs, hats, helms, circlets, crowns
Ioun stone	5	ioun stones
Neck	1	amulets, medallions, necklaces, torcs
Finger	2	rings	a Hand of Glory grants one additional Ring slot
Runestone	1	runestones	may have 2 more IF have a Runestone Fitting Base for each
Shirt	1	shirts, vestments	not vests, which are considered armor
Waist	1	belts, girdles
Wrists		bracers, bracelets	not gauntlets which go in the hands slot
Holding in Hands	2/2	weapons, shields, off-hand items	2 in melee and 2 in ranged (can be the same or different)

This is helpful to new players like the one who asked the question. They should put this or something like it in the appropriate guide book.

You may equip up to:

• 3 Charms , or up to 6 if you equip a Charm Necklace
• 1 Back item
• 2 Ear items
• 1 Eyes item (even if the item only consists of one lens, e.g., Lens of the Hawk )
• 1 Feet item (boots/shoes must be worn as a pair, so they count as a single slot)
• 1 Figurine
• 2 Finger items, or up to 3 if you equip a Hand of Glory
• 1 Hands item (gloves/gauntlets must be worn as a pair, so they count as a single slot)
• 1 Head item
• 5 Ioun Stones
• 1 Mainhand weapon
• 1 Neck item
• 1 Offhand item (usually a shield unless playing a monk or ranger)
• 1 Runestone , or up to 2 if you equip one Runestone Fitting Base , or up to 3 if you equip 2 Runestone Fitting Bases. You may not equip more than 2 Runestone Fitting Bases.
• 1 Shirt
• 1 Torso (aka Armor or Robe) item
• 1 Waist item
• 1 Wrist item, though monks may equip up to 2 monk bracer weapons . If a monk equips either 1 or 2 bracer weapons, s/he may not equip a non-weapon bracer. E.g., if a monk equips 1 Bracer of Smiting but no other bracer-weapon in the offhand slot, the monk may not equip anything else in the other wrist slot. I.e., non-weapon wrist items must be worn as a pair to function.

Some items are slotless , including all GP-value, ammunition, potions, scrolls, and trade/reserve tokens.

No matter how many slots an item may fit in, other than weapons (including monk bracer-weapons), you may not equip more than one item with the same name. E.g., a ranger may wield two +1 Silver Short Swords but nobody may equip more than one Ioun Stone Beryl Prism .

If a token's text specifically states only one may be worn or equipped (e.g., Bracer of Quivering Palm ), the token's text supersedes the general rule.

Some Artifacts may break these limits.

The Token Guide also contains this and other good info about tokens.
