[QUOTE="Metallian, post: 726492, member: 1063"] [b]Re: Bracers of Sure Striking[/b] Not a bad idea. I'm a little worried about losing my +2 enhancement bonus (which is good against [i]everyone[/i], not just critters with a DR over +2), but I'll have to crunch some numbers tonight to see what works out best. Not a lot of critters have a DR higher than +2, so it's basically a tradeoff between "I'm good at fighting most things and useless against things with DR +3 or higher" and "I'm a little worse at fighting most things but can at least hurt those few things with high DR." I plan to do a lot of tripping and other "support" functions in combat (fly behind my allies' opponents to give them a flanking bonus, etc.) so I may just settle for "helping" when we face critters with a high DR. Ooh...I just realized that I have Bracers of Armor +3 and a Ring of Protection +1. I'd have to give up the Bracers of Armor and I can't afford a Ring of Protection +4 to make up the difference. Hmmmm...maybe not just yet...I've reached a pretty decent compromise between defense and offense (I think) and maybe I shouldn't throw it out of whack just to account for the few critters with DR +3 or above...
