![]() ![]() Something (a design, inscription, or the like) provides a clue to its function (or if the item is command word-activated, that it has the command word or words written on it) Some wondrous items are intelligent, while others provide some clue as to their function. Slotless wondrous items are the largest category and most diverse of the wondrous items. Typically the possession of such an item is enough to gain its benefit, but sometimes one must manipulate and activate the item. Other times they are larger items, such as the carpet of flying. Sometimes these items take the form of trinkets, like figurines of wondrous power. Wondrous items not worn in one of the magic item slots are called “slotless” wondrous items. Wrists: This slot consists of armbands, bracelets, bracers, gauntlets, manacles, shackles, vambraces, and other items that can worn over the wrists.Shoulders: This slot consists of capes, cloaks, cords, mantels, pauldrons, shawls, stoles, wings, and other items that can be worn on the shoulders.Neck: This slot consists of amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, scarabs, and other items that can be worn around the neck or fastened to a cloak.Headband: This slot consists of bands, headbands, laurels, phylacteries, and other non-head slot items that can be worn around the forehead.Head: This slot consists of circlets, crowns, hats, helms, hoods, masks, and other items that can be worn on the head.Hands: This slot consists of gauntlets, gloves, and other items that can worn on the hands.Feet: This slot consists of boots, horseshoes, sandals, shoes, slippers, and other items that can be worn on the feet.Eyes: This slot consists of goggles, lenses, monocles, spectacles, and other items that can be worn over the eyes.Chest: This slot consists of jackets, mantels, shirts, vests and other items that can be worn around the torso or chest.Body: This slot consists of body wraps, cassocks, corsets, dusters, harnesses, robes, vestments and any other article of clothing that can be worn on the body.Belt: This slot consists of belts and other items that can be worn around the waist.There are several categories of slotted wondrous items. If a creature has multiple body parts that correspond to a single wondrous item slot, it can still only gain the benefit of one item of that slot. If a creature is missing the body part where a wondrous item is worn, it cannot use that type of slotted item. Sometimes a slotted wondrous item must be worn for a period of time (typically 24 hours) before the item’s full effect manifests. Note: If you click on the image at right of a person showing the body slots, you can download a PDF that you can print and fill in yourself! Of course, a character may carry or possess any number of slotted items of the same type, but additional items have no effect until they are worn. When a character wears a slotted wondrous item he cannot gain the benefit from a wondrous items of the same slot until the first item is removed.
