[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3440670, member: 12460"] Almost ready to go. I have a few more housekeeping items to take care of. [sblock=-SIN-] First of all, it is a common misconception that bracers of armor improve your touch AC. This is probably due to the fact that bracers of armor have mage armor as a crafting prerequisite. However, even this line of thinking is flawed since mage armor only grants a bonus to armor class against touch attacks made by incorporeal creatures since it is a force effect. Anyway, the point is that bracers of armor merely provide your character with an armor bonus to AC that is not a force effect, hence it does not improve your touch AC for any purpose. On another note, I am a little concerned that Haradras is not powerful enough to survive. Might I make a few suggestions for optimizing equipment? Trade in the bracers of armor +7 for bracers of armor +4, a ring of protection +3, and an amulet of mighty fists +3. This would cost you an additional 1,000 gp, but I think it would be well worth it to improve your to hit bonus. You could also trade the belt of giant strength +6 for a belt of giant strength +4 and gloves of dexterity +4. You would lose +1 to hit and damage, but you would more than make up for it with the amulet of mighty fists. Your AC and Reflex save would also improve and you would have 4,000 gp left over. I would recommend using this money to buy some magical shuriken (maybe some with flaming, shock, or frost enhancements). A +1 flaming shuriken only costs 166 gp and 2 sp. You could afford more than 20 of those with the leftover cash. Which god do you worship? You have a holy symbol, but no deity mentioned.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
