Headband of Intellect +6, Cloak of Charisma +6, +6 "vest" of constitution, something or other of evasion... and winged boots. Heck, why not make several of them "combo" items. It's all do-able fairly cheap if you have alignment/racial/class restrictions on stuff. How long would that guy remain level 1 if encounters were run "by the book". He would be a 1st level character against low challenge rating critters afterall. No real need to eat or rest, thus no worries about getting bushwacked in his sleep. AC around 34 (Sounds Like Rhy from my CoB playtest)... +9 to hit at level 1... very tempting to put such a foil into an adventure... if it weren't for the fact that I don't want my guys ending up with all his gear!Good thread!Hope I didn't derail the OPs point. I wouldn't mind seeing what the "cheesiest" 1st level no holds barred "standard magic items only" super hero aristocrat could be!Case</blockquote>
