[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1735851, member: 224"] Excellent. Thanks Scion. This is exactly the sort of analysis I was looking for, esp. re: -30% cost reduction. I'll likely firm up the restiction a bit more. Although there's nothing in the RAW that says so, the Robe is price is currently too low. I think many of the posters in this thread have come to a consensus reading of the DMG text: "Different" doesn't mean what the designers think it means. :) In the thread so far, the best definition seems to be: "Different" means "powers that are active at the same time, and are synergistic - that is, they compliment and augment each other". (I forget who first posted this, but: thanks!) A Robe of multiple AC bonuses qualifies for this definition. For the record, spending ~50k gp for this robe (as per Scion's pricing) puts my Mnk16 AC at (+12 robe, +6 Dex +6 Wis +3 Mnk=) 37. That's O.K. (and stuff is [i]still[/i] gonna hit him). [/QUOTE]
