[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 3207783, member: 12032"] OK, a little less heat would be nice. Let me turn the argument back on you. You claim that I must find bracers +8 to be overpriced. I claim that you must find full plate to be broken. After all, it's a +8 armor bonus with only a few disadvantages: Movement (for a non-dwarf, it's really broken for a dwarf) and weight (which if you have enough STR is hardly a disadvantage). All for 1500 GP. In any case, none of this matters. As I said before, my argument is that if it doesn't actually cause problems, it's not a problem. I claim that situation exists here. The only case I've seen where it _is_ broken is if you let a druid merge it into a shape-change (which isn't RAW at this point and the whole "merging items" thing was broken from the get-go IMO). Can you find another? My rule of thumb on pricing (and the DMGs) is that it should cost what it's worth. And I don't think there are many cases where it is worth more than it costs. An open ended INT bonus to AC would be broken. Given the classes that exist (AFAIK), an open-ended WIS bonus to AC isn't. IMO, YMMV, etc. [/QUOTE]
