[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3243159, member: 11146"] I considered it but ditched the idea for two reasons. One, it's an item that is easily negated. Two, I thought it was a little too obvious a purchase and wanted to try something novel. I might have to rethink that approach to equipping the PC, though. The old standbys are old standbys for a darn good reason, usually. I looked at both undead bane and disruption and went with disruption. Both are pretty good vs. undead. I also bought the phylactery for Peja. Incidentally, I'm kinda considering ditching Power Attack and Improved Sunder in favor of Disciple of the Sun from CD (lets you destroy instead of turn undead). Is Disciple of the Sun acceptable? What's your take on the pearls that grant two spells? Is that two spells total or two spells of [i]every[/i] spellcasting level? It's wacky, I know, but I've seen the pearls played a myriad of ways. Wanting to keep the PC as simple and streamlined as possible, I avoided buying a pearl of power. But since you mentioned them specifically... :D I have enough gp now to do the cloak. While I was happy with the Gem, it really did eat up his funds. Without it, there's room to play. Thanks for the tips re: defenses, though. Those get me thinking in the right direction. It's been a while since I last looked at that, I'll have to revisit it this week. Thanks for the idea. [/QUOTE]
