Hello all, with this character I plan to use the spell winters grasp frequently and I want to have just enough cold resistance that I don't ever take cold damage. so Cold/6 would be the most I need, but cold/5 would probably be fine.
What is the cheapest item combination that would provide this amount permanently?
I was able to find Rimeshaper Gloves which only cost 3,000. I'm not sure if there is a cheaper option.
Resistance generally comes in increments of 5 (and doesn't stack), so if you want 6, you cane expect to need to get 10.
LordKailas is probably right, 3000gp is cheap for a permanent magic item...
I might look at Frostward Gel (alchemical item), although not permanent, it is relatively very cheap, 150 gp for a 1 hour Cold Resistance 5.
I know, but occasionally there's ways to get increments of 1 or 2 that stack with other items. So far the gloves LordKailas has mentioned are the best best I've found, but I'm still hopeful that someone out there know an awesome trick or two.
Boots of the Winterlands provides Endure Elements, which says: "A creature protected by endure elements suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment" and "Endure elements doesn't provide any protection from fire or cold damage," which I always interpreted that a PC was protected from non-lethal cold/fire damage from the weather, but was still fully susceptible to damage from cold/fire from spells, breath weapons, etc. I could be wrong on that, but if not, the boots would be a decent selection at only 2,500gp.
