Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spatzimaus" data-source="post: 435164" data-attributes="member: 3051">demon_jr:If you have no armor or shield, and no intention of wearing armor, you MUST get Bracers of Armor.  There's no real question about it, IMHO, you have no Armor AC bonus.  It's by far the cheapest AC to get, at 1000*x^2 for bracers, even cheaper for normal armor.But frankly, even with that, you seem to have chosen to become a spellcaster, even with all the drawbacks that entails.  Just going from normal armor to Bracers costs you 3 or 4 AC right off the bat.  If you're a 14th-level warrior-type, and you only have ONE level of Sorcerer, you shouldn't be giving up on armor just for the dinky amount of spellcasting you'll do.Buy a suit of Celestial Armor (chain type, high Max DEX, only 15% arcane failure, and you can fly 1/day!  Plus it's light, so no movement penalty) and hope for the best on the arcane failure rolls.  Note that True Strike has no somatic component and therefore won't cause problems in armor; there are a few others that work like that, too.  Oh yeah, and get a good shield.Your miscellaneous magic items are a problem, too.  Ring of Protection +2 and Amulet of Natural Armor +1 cost a total of 10k, while you should have (DMG guidelines) 150k in assets.  My 14th-level character had a Ring of Protection +2, Amulet of Natural Armor +2, +8 in armor AC (+3 celestial armor) plus a +3 small shield, a ring that (among other things) gives a +2 luck bonus... and he was a Psion.</blockquote>
