Jordan-
The rules do not 'specificly' state that only one piece of equipment can
be equipped at a time, but I believe that it is implied. (I know, this is
the way to get in trouble again) The corrected rules state in 12.3.1 under
Equip Minions "Equipment cards are _action_ cards that give minions
special abilities." A minion can only perform one action at a time,
therefore it follows that only one piece of equipment can be equipped in a
given action.
The rule further states that one of your minions can take equipment from
one of your other minions at +1 stealth and that "more than one piece of
equipment can be taken at one time from the same minion." I just wanted
to clarify that this rule is for a minion taking an action, and IMO should
not be understood to mean a minion 'stealing' equipment (as a combat card
for example) would be able to take more than one piece.
What does everyone else think?

Here's a question. We were under the impression for the longest time
that you are able to equip as many items at once as you can pay for on a
minion. But when we went to look in the rules, it doesn't say clearly
one way or the other. When stealing, it definitely says you can take
more than one piece, but nothing about when equipping.
Thanks,
Jordan

The rules are explicit.
12.3.1:
Equip Minions: (equipment card required):
... the equipment card is placed on the minion.
14:
A player's [minion's -lsj] action is declared and an action card is
played if necessary.
One. Singular.

Peace Jordan,
Don't feel bad, up until recently my group played that way too. I/We have
come to the opinion that it is supposed to be "one action = one new piece
of equipment," just like recruiting allies/retainers.

Actually we interpret that to mean that if you want to equip your minion with
more than one piece of equipment you're welcome but it's one action and if
it's blocked successfully you lose all of the equipment. In other words
equiping is a single minion action, and it can be one or seven pieces of
equipment but if it's blocked they all go bye bye.
