Automatic Bonus Progression confusion

[CWheezy]

Hi, I am reading the automatic bonus progression. I was really excited when I first heard about it, because buying the big six every game is pretty boring!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to actually replace them? The bonuses accumulate a lot slower than you could afford to buy the items in question.

Also, you lose magic item slots for some reason? I thought the point was to open up the belt slot so you could wear fun belts, not straight up remove the belt slot.

Looks like you're mixing up Automactic Progression and the Innate Magic Items sections.

Yeah maybe! I am kind of tired
