I am entitled to run the game as I see fit. Two rings, max. End of story. I don't care if the book says you can wear a 10000 rings, my world my rules my story. No one has ever had an issue with that rule
Just because the book says something doesn't mean its law, your game, your rules, as long as everyone in the group agrees to the rules all is good.
You're ENTITLED to believe whatever you want, but it's kind of a ****** move to respond to someone's question by claiming something is OP w/out explaining why you think that way. And then when given evidence that it isn't, you respond with "Well, it's my world. I can do whatever I want." As if anyone was challenging that.
What we're challenging is your asinine assertion that more than two rings is OP without any reasoning other than "that's the way it used to be".

In previous versions of D&D you could only wear a maximum of 2 magic rings. Has that limitation been removed? I cannot find any rule disallowing a character to have 20 rings on (21 if male) other than you cannot be attuned to more than 3 items.
Anyone want to comment on this?
Um, why 21 if male? lol
Maybe I just have a perverted mind but I think they're referring to the finger that lies in-betwinger

Frankly, if you're really trying, you can probably fit like 40 or 50 rings on your fingers... depends on how thick they are, how much you value your manual dexterity, etc.
Sure, you're left with the majority of them being non-attunement, but hey, if you want to wear 47 rings of Water Walking, maybe I'll let you walk on water vapor ;)
Most characters would be better served with a Staff of Power or Belt of Giant Strength (Storm). Than three rings.. Thats why there is no ring limit by the book.
I say unlimited, as, despite everything, you, as the DM, decide how many rings the party gets, regardless of how many they want, or how broken it would be.
With that being said, rings that don't require attunement, in all books other than partnered content
who in their right mind (except me, but i dont really fit in that category anyway)would want to wear 50 rings of water walking?

[roll]1d4[/roll] + [roll]1d4[/roll] + [roll]1d4[/roll] + [roll]1d4[/roll] + [roll]1d4[/roll] + [roll]1d4[/roll] = [roll][roll:-6]+[roll:-5]+[roll:-4]+[roll:-3]+[roll:-2]+[roll:-1][/roll]
The RAW is any number of rings as long as the Attunement restrictions are met.
Third Edition had limits by slot rather than an overall limit like 5e has.
One headband, hat, helmet, or phylactery on the head
One pair of eye lenses or goggles on or over the eyes
One amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, or scarab around the neck
One vest, vestment, or shirt on the torso
One robe or suit of armor on the body (over a vest, vestment, or shirt)
One belt around the waist (over a robe or suit of armor)
One cloak, cape, or mantle around the shoulders (over a robe or suit of armor)
One pair of bracers or bracelets on the arms or wrists
One glove, pair of gloves, or pair of gauntlets on the hands
Two rings (Four Rings with a Feat) - One ring on each hand (or two rings on one hand)
One pair of boots or shoes on the feet
This limit of 12 magic items was reduced to 3 items that require attunement in 5e. Many of the items that would have taken up one of those 12 slots in 3.5e and provide a significant bonus to the character require attunement now. Given that and the fact that some items players will want to use are not worn and still require attunement, the 5e restriction is usually more severe than any 3.x limit.

There would be no benefit, but an Adventurer's Ring is a torch when you want it. It could be replicated with a Continual Flame inside a ring with a compartment.
There are more options with 5.24e but I still have no concern with a character wearing all the bling they can within the attunement restrictions. 3+ Rings never was OP and still isn't.
To be fair, our friend is called TheEvilDM. I don't know what kind of correlation that has though.
Unless you're an artificer with a whole fist of bling. ;)

Adventurers Ring, Ring of Animal Influence, Ring of Puzzlers Wit, Ring of Resistance, Ring of Swimming, Ring of Three Wishes, Ring of Water Walking
There are many other partnered content rings that don't require attunement, but most DM don't allow them anyway.

Yes. A cloak is intended to be worn over your normal clothes. It's outerwear; think of it like a coat.

Ok, thanks for the advice! Trying to figure out if I can use robe of the archmage and cloak of protection at the same time.
