Bear Warrior Armor

[Kwyn]

I need some suggestions for armor on a Bear Warrior. The BW description basically describes the bear form as similar to polymorph.

I had thought I might try Wild armor to help AC while in Bear form but the description says it is for wild shape.

Do Bear Warriors just run around with their dex and the natural armor from the bear?

I would let a Bear Warrior benefit from the Wild enhancement on his armor.

• Amulet of Natural armor
• Bracers
• Monk's belt
• Mage armor, from some item
• etc.

Except for Mage Armor, this stuff shouldn't work while polymorphed?

Wizard's has outlined animal magic item slots... Polymorph/Alter Self resizes items (Not weapons)... So, I'd let them work. But If you don't agree with this.... http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031125a, then you are right.

LOL! Sorry, that made me visualize an old woman with her little dog in nice knitted clothes...

AU has the Bear Warrior Armor, but that's for bear totem warriors. I assume that's not of what you speak?

Bear Warrior is a PrC in Complete Warrior that gives a sort of quasi-lycanthropy - you turn into a bear when you Rage.

a dire bear with a purple necklace and purple boots seems pretty nice
I rule when you shape into anything with arms legs... you maintain your items slots because their resize

Hmm. This remembers me of my OA Barbarian who finally became Bear Warrior. No AC to speak of. (especially in OA, where the Armors aren´t that great). Not before the Bear Warrior abilities, not after them. (Well, maybe it would have become better, thanks to the great natural armor bonus - but we never played so long...).
Still, I liked the character, and he survived a lot. Sometimes you just have to take the damage...
