I'm thinking a ring of protection and/or bracers of armor? I considered a ring of force shield but realized it'd be pointless as soon as the Child cast the shield on its spells prepared list.Hold on, a CL 1 use-activated/continuous shield item would cost 4,000 gp going by the <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm" target="_blank">Creating Magic Items</a> guidelines, so why did they settle on 8,500 gp for a ring of force shield?For that matter, why would anyone bother when a +2 ring of protection is 500 gp cheaper and offers a deflection bonus while bracers of armor offers the same +2 AC but is 4,500 gp cheaper and doesn't have the limitations of being a shield?Presumably most of the cost is from the force shield ring's CL of 9th, which is the minimum needed to cast wall of force but it clearly isn't using that spell in the cost calculation (since 5th level spell × 9th level caster × 2,000 is a base price of 90,000 gp!). Reverse-calculating the spell level comes to 0.45, so it's clearly a cantrip, which makes sense as the +2 AC bonus the shield provides is WORSE than the benefits of a shield spell (+4 AC and negates magic missile).Never mind, it's irrelevant for this conversion (unless you really fancy a ring of force shield for the kid).</blockquote>
