So my co DM and I are in a bit of a heavy discussion.
As said in the Core Rule system:
Quote:
Rings
Rings bestow magical powers upon their wearers. Only a rare few have charges—most magic rings are permanent and potent magic items. Anyone can use a ring.
A character can only effectively wear two magic rings. A third magic ring doesn't work if the wearer is already wearing two magic rings.
I understand: A Player can wear as many Rings he can fit on his Fingers, for example 10, one on each finger. But only 2 Rings can be active at the same time.
If i want to change one of my 8 passive rings to active, i have to use a standart action for that, as written down here:
Quote:
To use a magic item, it must be activated, although sometimes activation simply means putting a ring on your finger. Some items, once donned, function constantly. In most cases, though, using an item requires a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. By contrast, spell completion items are treated like spells in combat and do provoke attacks of opportunity.
Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item description indicates otherwise.
So technically, i wear 10 rings, 2 are active, i jump down a tower use a standart action to change from Ring of Protection to Ring of Feather fall, and boom. I'm save. Or other situation. My mate casts Schield others on me, I decide to deactivate my Ring of Protection and use my Platin Ring I Wear passive to make use of his spell.
This is my understanding. He is sure I cant wear more than 2 Rings in general and have to dequip and than equip a different Ring if i want to make use of it, because a Ring is always a magical item even when i dont use it actively and the rule says, a player can only wear 2 magical items.
Please help :D
