(And it is +1 with Icy burst).  I also use power attack often so I enjoy 2-handed weapons.The other party members are: Fighter, Rogue, and Cleric.  The Fighter is 2 levels below us though so I have been doing the majority of the fighting.  That is already changing though since he can do about equal damage... he just has 40 fewer HP's.We played on Saturday and I was surprised to see one of the unidentified amulets we were carrying around was an amulet of natural armor +2.  The party was nice and allowed me to have it.  That made the decision pretty easy for me and I picked up a +4 cloak and still had enough money left over to give to the church, spend on light armor for my mount, and more beer.I agree that +2 ability modifier items will get upgraded a lot and so I also prefer to buy items that are at least +3.  However, having a free +2 item is very nice.Thanks for all the comments.  While I didn't have such a hard decision to make after all, I now have more direction to where I want to have my Paladin go.  First thing on my list is to read Defenders of the Faith.  I am a partial powergamer... I love to role play, but I spend all my off time thinking about improving my character and not the story.</blockquote>
