[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6707692, member: 1"] [B]Originally posted by MightyThokk:[/B] [h=4][B]5 Equipment[/B][/h] At this point really the only Equipment choices you need to think about are Armor. If Stealth is important to you: [B]Show[/B] [sblock] 16 Dex: At Level one. Studded Leather or Chain shirt both start you at 15 AC. Starting at Level 3 Mage Armor gets you 16 AC. 400 GP Breast Plate, also 16 AC. Or if you happen to loot one along the way, this can save you a spell slot. At 18 Dex Studded Leather and Breastplate are 16 AC Mage Armor is 17 AC So unless you've got magic armor, Mage Armor is the better choice. Personally I'd keep a suit of studded leather stuffed in a backpack just in case. At 20 Dex Studded Leather is 17 AC Mage Armor is 18 AC If Stealth matters to you, Mage armor with a Studded Leather back up is probably the way to go. But if you haven't bumped dex yet and there is no magic armor a Breastplate gets your 16 AC. [/sblock] If you don't care about Stealth, you probably should. : ) But in that case: [B]Show[/B] [sblock]16 Dex At Level one. Studded Leather or Chain shirt both start you at 15 AC, but Scale mail gets you a 16 AC. Starting at Level 3 Mage Armor gets you 16 AC. 400 GP Breast Plate 16 AC. 750 GP gets you Half plate and 17 AC. So start with Scale mail, upgrade to Half Plate. At 18 Dex Studded Leather, Scale mail and Breastplate are all 16 AC Mage Armor and Half plate are both 17 AC At 20 Dex Studded Leather and Half Plate are 17 AC Mage Armor is 18 AC IMO you may as well be Stealthy after your first Dex bump since it costs you nothing.
