It costs a lot more, but he's probably not any harder to hit than someone wearing 1500 full plate and using a shield. Do you raise someone's ECL because they have a Ring of Regeneration, valued at 80 or 90 thousand, and with next to no combat usefulness whatsoever?Is a magical sword or a stat-boosting item someone isn't "entitled" to worth an ECL adjustment when a wizard of his level could have easily cast Magic Weapon or Bull's Stregth on him?What makes for a higher Encounter Level, a 40K Ring of Invisibility, or a scroll of Improved Invisibility and the ability to use it?</blockquote>
