Armor +1 costs 2000gp...and you're really better off with a magical shield anyway (1,170gp).  I'd ditch the Ring of Protection in favor of a Cloak of Resistance +1.....you want your saves higher than they are.  After alll, you are the guy the other PCs go to when they fail their saves!And definately switch out that longsword +1.  Get a masterwork one instead, forget all about wanting a Warhammer, and spring for a Long Comp Bow (Str +1).So my list would be:+1 Full Plate (2650)MW Longsword (315)+1 Comp (Str +1) Longbow (2,500)+1 Heavy Steel Shield (1170)Cloak of Resistance +1 (1000)Pearl of Power - 1st (1000)...and spend the remainder on a partially charged Wand of Cure Light Wounds (20 charges, with some gp left over)</blockquote>
