[QUOTE="seasong, post: 795564, member: 5137"] So here's the math. Wizard, level 21 Spellcraft 24 ranks - Skill Focus +2 - Skill Roll +26 - We want a DC of 10, however, for development costs. Armor Seed DC 14 - natural armor bonus +4 - duration 24 hours - DC +2 per extra +1 AC -8 DC: Backlash 8d6 (max 48 hp damage, you should have average 50 hp) -18 DC: 10 minute casting -20 DC: 10 day casting Total: DC -32 To get a DC 2 (for net DC 10 after permanence) needs +34 +34 DC: AC increased by +17 (to natural AC +21) x5 DC: Permanent Final DC 10 Other ways to reduce cost: - Each 200 XP cost translates directly into +1 AC. - Have a 17th level friend or cohort contribute an 9th level spell slot, for another +8 AC. - Change to personal range for +1 AC. Regardless, cost to develop will be about 90,000 GP, 2 days, and 3,600 XP. Give it a cost of 1,400 XP, one friend or cohort's 9th level spell, and you have a +36 natural armor bonus for a net cost of 4,000 XP, 12 days, and 90,000 GP. And once it's developed, it costs 1,400 XP and 10 days per buddy in your party.
