[QUOTE="Nail, post: 2066238, member: 224"] (Coming into this discussion late......) I play an elvish Clr 14 with above average wealth. As I started reading this thread, I thought: "Gees, I should get me a Monk's Belt!" Currently my AC is 34 (Mithral Breastplate +5 {29,350gp}, Heavy Mithral Shield +5 {26,170gp}, Gloves of Dex +4 for a Dex 20 {16,0000}, Ring of Deflection +1 {2,000gp}, Amulet of Natural Armor +1 {2,000gp} )...for a cost of 75,520 gp. My cleric also has a 24 Wis (for a +7 bonus). As I said, my character is wealthy....but bear with me here. :) So I thought: "Hey, I'll drop my armor and shield for the monk's belt, then get bracers of Armor. I'll be set!" Let's see, trade out the armor and shield, keep everything else, assume I get 100% of the value when I sell it. (That won't happen, BTW.) So I have 55,520gp to spend...... 13,000gp for the belt, 36,000 for Bracers of Armor +6, bump the Amulet of Natural Armor up to +2 with the extra. Then my Clr 14's AC will be: (Belt of the Monk and Wis 24 gives a +8 AC {13,000gp}, Bracers of Armior +6 {36,000gp}, Gloves of Dex +4 for a Dex 20 {16,0000}, Ring of Deflection +1 {2,000gp}, Amulet of Natural Armor +2 {2,000gp} )... AC 31 !!!! Wow, what a great item for my min-maxed Clr 14 to get! [color=yellow]He can make his AC [u]worse[/u] by 3 points for the [i]same amount[/i] of money![/color] :) [/QUOTE]
