12-05-04, 02:51 AM Are there any official guides/rulings on what kinds of magic items an animal can wear?
I.E. - Are rings wearable, how about a cloak, boots, gloves, bracers, etc.

12-05-04, 08:48 PM I don't think that there are established rules except common sense. Animal could wear necklaces, bracers, non-foot-covering boots(leg bracers), bracelets, barding(horses can, why not a wolf?), and maybe rings on a necklace or attached to bracers. I think that rings would be hard to do because animals have biggish knuckles on short(usually) fingers/toes. If you're a chimpanzee, treat yourself as a human in regard for slots.
