    Warforged Plating vs. Monk/Ninja AC Bonuses

    No, the unarmored body feat is so you can wear armor or a magic robe. By high levels armor that outperforms any of the armored body feats is chump change. Warforged monks and ninja are only screwed by the difficulty healing them and their Wis penalty, not by an inability to access their class...

    How much should these magic items cost?

    between 700 and 1250 I'd guess. I'd want it to have some additional effect for animal companions though, as they can already be handled as a free action and most PCs with enough of an investment in an animal to want this would have that animal as a companion. Also let the maker chose the...

    How much should these magic items cost?

    To be fair that belt is the one seriously underpriced magic item in the book. People on the wizards character Optimization Board were talking about buying them in multiples and switching belts in between encounter.

    Too powerful? What am I missing... (please help)

    Protection from/Magic circle against foo do not protect against summoned creatures with an alignment opposed to foo. Arcane Casters can just summon a creature their enemies spells don't defend them against.

    Speed Freak

    That depends on how you interpret: "For all effects related to race, a dragonborn is considered a dragon and a member of her original race."

    Speed Freak

    Improved Speed is on page 71 of the Draconomicon. As for hustle I was (and I think others were too) misrembering the name of Dash, which is found on page 97 of Complete Warrior, and was earlier printed in both Song and Silence and the Miniatures Handbook.

    5 Level Prestige Classes - Love or Hate?

    5 is a bad number, it minimizes the differences between 1/2 and 3/4 BAB and because rounds disadvantageously for everything, the fifth level has to have really good class abilities to make up for it. As it usually doesn't, 5 level classes are mostly 4 level classes in practice. Designers seem...

    The problem of keeping magic items scarce...

    It says unfortunate things about a government's priorities if it would rather seize wealth from people making the area safer than from people eating monsters.

    The problem of keeping magic items scarce...

    Government have an inherent interest in keeping monsters from eating their taxpayers. If they do not it can be assumed they cannot. For this reason it is self evident to PCs that any tax collector intent on seizing their treasure is less formidable than the monsters who the PCs looted them from...
