I think you kinda nailed it - it's a tuneissue even though
many RPGs have tried to explain it with somekind of "it
magically polarizes your hand negating the effect of any
other rings" mumbo jumbo.

One way how a ring system could work is that only the most
powerful enchantment of a given kind is in effect. So if
you have a +10 int ring and a +3 wis, +3 int ring, the
total +int boost would still only be 10. Alternatively
it could be 10 + (3/n), where n is some silly number.

Fundamentally though, the ring system was designed like
this for game balance purposes. Naturally it could be
changed if people feel it's proper (rate Acidia's article
to give us a clue how you feel).

Well i guess a human has 8fingers 2thumbs.. not sure about sprites, ducks,
minotaurs; how many fingers, feet, heads, boots does a shadow have?

Ents don't have branches. They have two arms like everyone else. Read LOTR!
