Are there items similiar to charms?

Question

In Diablo 2 (I believe they came in LoD) there were Charms. Items that gave you buffs by just having them in your inventory. Is there anything even close to this system in Diablo 3, or is it only your gear and passives that give you stats.

Asked by Emerica.

Answer

There are no items similar to D2's charms in Diablo III. The only items that are really worth keeping in the inventory as you adventure are potion stacks.

In earlier iterations of Diablo III's design there used to be a charm-like system called "talisman" that did not occupy inventory space, see on the left here:

But it was removed after Blizzard were not happy with how it worked. There were vague hints by Blizzard that it might return, but at the moment it's not a confirmed future feature.
