[RPG] How to move the item slots around

magic-itemspathfinder-1e

Looking over the items I'm going to want for my character, I find myself wanting two neck slot items (an Amulet of Mighty Fists and a Necklace of Ki Serenity).

The Hand of Glory allows a character to wear an extra ring by taking up third neck slot, are there any other items that exchange what slot can be used where? (Hopefully one to let me wear more than one necklace at a time?)

Best Answer

There are a few magic items that will use a slot different than normal, to name a few:

  • The Hand of Glory allows you to use an extra ring on your neck slot.
  • The Ten-Ring Sword also grants an extra ring slot.
  • The Roc Rider Badge uses the neck slot on large or huge creatures but takes the body slot of medium and small creatures.
  • The Shrunken Head can be held on one hand or worn on your neck slot.
  • The Talisman of True Faith normally takes the neck slot but will free the slot if used as your holy symbol.
  • The Folding Plate is an armor that you can turn into a brooch that occupies the neck slot and will free your armor slot.
  • The Starfaring Robes is a body slot item that will offer you the effects of a Necklace of Adaptation, which would take a neck slot.
  • The Stinging Stilleto can be used either as necklace or ring and will transform into a dagger at the wearer's command.

But no, there are no magic items that will grant you an extra neck slot.

Non-humanoid creatures have access to the Extra Item Slot feat, that grants an additional magic item slot. But this would only help you if you had no neck slot, since the feat can only grant you a slot that you don't have already.

Another option would be to use a Magical Tattoo, which can be also placed on your neck but does not take up your neck slot. Or even take a look on the available Ioun Stones to check if the effect you want is not already covered by one of them.

Considering you are trying to obtain extra ki using the Necklace of Ki Serenity, you should take a look at the Ring of Ki Mastery, which allows you to store up to 2 ki points for later use and reduces the ki points used by ki abilities.
