Can my construct wear a belt wondrous item?


Rules Questions


I have an animated object. Can I put a magic item on it? In this case a belt. It's technically a creature as far as I know and in this case it doesn't have to be used or explicitly activated so intelligence shouldn't be an issue.

So any idea? I can't find anything except people talking about constructs picking up magic weapons.


Constructs are creatures. If the creature has a body shape that allows belts then yes, it can wear a belt.

Are there any rules regarding this anywhere?


There are rules for magic item slots on animals, but nothing for animated objects, to my knowledge.

Looking at how magic item slots are handled for animals though, as a DM I would rule that an animated object could only benefit from magic items if it had a form approximating a creature on which that item would normally fit. For instance, an animated sculpture of a human could slip on a pair of magic boots, but an animated chair could not.
