Is there a face slot for magical items now?

I've come across several magical items, such as the fogcutter goggles, which take up the "face slot."

However, there doesn't appear to be a face slot. Above the neck you only have head, headband, and eye slots.

Was this new slot added to the game at some point, or is it just a common error? (I mostly see it in splat books.) If it's the latter, what is its slot supposed to be?


3.5 had a face slot. Since that item appears to come from Rise of the Runelords, which was originally published for 3.5, I would assume that that is why it is listed that way.

Lenses obviously use the eye slot in Pathfinder.

Yes, RavingDork. Wear your fogcutter goggles on your face and your sniper goggles on your eyes. I'm sure that's the intent.

Not that this applies or anything:

Two sets of goggles at once? That's steampunk as f@#&!

lol. That was just one example. I've seen several items that state they use the "face" slot.

You very much undermined your several items assertion by your one example clearly being an item from a 3.5 AP (updated rules or not), rather then being anything from the Pathfinder RPG line.

Could you point us to one in the PFRPG line?

Also, I would say the correct slot is the most logical one.
