"on par with the cheapest" "one of the cheapest" I did not spell it out since I spelled it out in my earlier post. Bracers of armor are the same cost as magical armor per increase.

I agree that that makes sense. The issue comes from the fact that the 7th level AoE spell has an additional feature. Since this it the case, it would make since if polar ray also had an additional power of similar strength.

Yes, but cherry picking produces no better results. I compared them against the cost of other magic items that increase armor class. In that comparison bracers of armor is on par with the cheapest other armor class increasing magic items. Considering they are already one of the cheapest armor...

I do not get why people keep saying that it not having a save is such a great feature. A d20 is still being rolled, the only thing that is changing is who is doing the rolling. And for those who say, but the wizard will never miss the attack: Dragons. If it was a reflex save from a high level...

I went back and looked at all of the rules that are involved. Sunder is given as the method of targeting equipment on a character in combat. Since rays are considered ranged weapons, the caster would have to have the ranged sunder feat to target attended items. If the caster did have the feat he...

Don't forget the Ring of Vigor, lesser for 8000. That way in case you go negative you'll eventually get back up.

I have been play testing the alpha skills in one of my games, and do like it for all the virtues that the system has. But we have found some key issues with the system. It makes taking a skills class as your first level... kinda abusive. In 3.5 terms it would be like taking a level of rogue at...

The DMG does not say anything about precedence in the creating magic items, and since the cloak is described as having an affinity for protection, any effect that provides defensive bonuses would not trigger the extra cost on cloaks. The reason the extra 50% cost from having multiple effects...

Its dependent on the wording of the spell. If the spell says it can be used on objects/equipment there is no reason it could be used against held objects/equipment. Normal ranged damage spells might get caught be the no ranged sunder rules. The save doesn't matter as much as the the target/spell...

Combat Expertise - When you use the attack action or the full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as –5 on your attack roll and add the same number (+5 or less) as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack...

It has nothing to do with the spell having a save, and everything to do with the spell specifying objects as legitimate targets. The rules that mvincent pulled explain the case.

Since you proposed Bracers of Armor +4 costing 1000 and progress as normal, that means that every thing but chain shirt and mithral breast blate (unless you have crazy dex then those are not worth it either) are the only light armors anyone would use. This is because a +1 Studded Leather...

On the Wild Armor issue: Wild: The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to be made covered in leaf patterns. While the wearer is in a wild shape...

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. No, it increases the base natural armor of the creature (note: your base form needs natural armor to take it) 5. No 6. You cannot take the feat for a forms natural attack. If you a monk then you can take it for your unarmed strike. 7. Refer to 6. 1d12 goes to 3d6. Refer...

By changing the price as you have suggested you make almost every light armor in the game completely useless, this relatively weakens the classes that have light armor proficiency since that class feature has lost almost all meaning. And as my argument states, a class being underpowered is not a...

I am not saying that it is vastly overpriced, just overpriced. Besides why would a barbarian want an adamantine shield. Between the headache of not having rules for applying adamantine to shields and DR from different sources seems kinda pointless. VanRichten - you need to look at the...

So as per disintegrate, the object would get a save because it is attend object using either the wielder save or the magic items save (which ever is higher). If it saves it take 5d6 else its gone.

Range Sunder is allowing you to circumvent the normal prevention of using the sunder combat option at range. And you do have a good point for most ray/range touch spells might (I haven't looked at that close enough to say) not be able to be used to damage attended items, but disintegrate has...

The reason I consider the Shield Ring over priced is that there is a base item that has the same effect for the vast majority of encounters (depending on campaign) for 1/4 the cost. I do not think it is much over priced since of the 4000 to 8000 range I mentioned earlier, I believe it should be...

Your right, but that doesn't change the cost of the item or the ability to activate it as a free action. So while you cannot have it up for unlimited time, you can simple activate it before every swing.
