Note that the DM is the final arbiter on what rank a specific magic item gets, and despite the actual number of gold pieces an item is worth should not give players an excuse to stack effects until it reaches just below the item cost this is the exact opposite of the intent of the system going for iconic equipment that does one thing well rather than "the ring of everything" that has five different effects stacked atop each other.  Characters can gain the benefits of a number of magic items of specific ranks as shown in the table below. However, remember that one can only gain the benefits of up to five magic items at a time. For the purpose of this limit, one-use items (such as potions and scrolls) don't count towards your five magic item limit.
