Unofficial rules compendium

There is some ambiguity in the table on pag 288 in the DMG, as several categories of items (and thus rows in the table) can occupy the same body slot (gloves and gauntlets in their example) but how this is done is not clarified. This table defines the available body slots.

Body Slot	Normal Gear	Affinity
Head	Headband, helmet	Mental improvement, ranged attacks
	Hat	Interaction
Eye	Lenses, goggles	Vision
Shoulder	Vest, vestment	Class ability improvement
Back	Cloak, cape, mantle	Transformation, protection
Neck	Amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace, periapt, scarab	Protection, discernment
	Phylactery	Morale, alignment

	Gauntlets	Destructive power
Fingers & wrists (2 slots)	Rings	Protection, spell effects
	Bracelets	Allies
