Interesting point.

Reading the Aid Spell on page 18, I can't see where it says that Aid is exempt from the Rule of Fives (ROF) unless one points to the fact that there is no specific exclusion for it to be successfully cast on a character even if they have 5 magical items. Id this it or are you coming from another angle.

ITL Page 161 (Attribute Enhancers) gives many rules around the use and limitations of attribute enhancers. Yes, the ROF seems to apply to the maximum benefit for each attribute being +5 and the maximum number of magic items that provide such enhancements.

So, it seems that a character can have 5 magical items (including attribute enhancement) at still receive additive benefit from the Aid spell or potions. However, any cumulative benefit for each attribute is capped at +5.
