As a major item it gives SR 50 at level 30, SR 77 at level 50, and SR 104 at level 70.  There are so many potential challenges to an epic level character that a major item should give major protection.  I think SR of +20 (level +20, I mean) is a good benefit, but not excessive.  In fact, at higher levels when the range of CRs is greater, a greater bonus is quite desirable.However as a 10% item it should still give worthwhile protection against equal CR opponents.  And SR of level +9 or level +10 is decent.What do you think?  It is a cubic formula, it scales well with level, and it agrees with the ELH mantle as far as pricing goes.  What could be better?</blockquote>
