They'll have one weapon (or implement) that boosts attacks and damage. They'll have armor that boosts their AC. And they'll have a cloak (or medallion) that boosts their other defenses (ALL their other defenses!) as well as providing some other snazzy ability.People are reading about all these random items providing "bonuses" and assuming those bonuses will be numeric. They aren't. Those boots of water-walking, for example, might make it easier for their wearer in some encounters, but their use is pretty situational.</blockquote>
