[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 3406740, member: 9026"] HEH, Those're the rules we always talk about in town here, too. Though instead of 'typical CR 20 monsters", we usually prepare for Balor's, Pit Fiends, Great Red Wyrms, and 20th lvl wizard/archmage Liches. I figure if you can survive them, what else have you got to worry about. A couple things to add to the list of lvl 20 gear, however - There are really only 2 differenet form's of Armour class at high level. "Everything hits me", and "Nothing Hits me". Oh sure it's possible to get the AC that is between, where some things your CR/lvl have a bit of trouble, but if you can get your AC that high, then chances are it's not to hard to get it higher. That being said, unless you're TRYING for a High AC, I would probably suggest ignoring most AC items. at least the higher end ones... (+5 Nat armour +5 Deflection, +8 Armour are all kinda pointless if they make your AC total 30 with dex, which any 20th lvl fighter has a 50/50 chance on with just his BAB). If you can't get your AC to 40 or higher, I'ld suggest not spending a lot of money on it. And finally, you should probably have SOMETHING to protect against Fort save vs death(Death Magic) and Will save vs death(Hold/Enchantment) That being said, my roommates keep taking my books into their rooms and they work nights, so won't be up for about 4 hours at the earliest. I'll get my stats done when I can. [/QUOTE]
