So let's talk about some Spell Strategy...

Thank you for this. I like the idea that I can be creative with this, and ill have to look at opportunities to try out some really weird spell combinations.

So I'm trying to figure out item priority based on the money I will have... can you help me fill in the priority for these items? The format that I threw together is:

-(priority) Item Name
. . Get by: max level to grab
. . cost: cost
. . Notes: questions/thoughts on the item

Items:
-(1) Add Spikes and Spell Storing to Mithril Breastplate
. . Get by: lvl 7
. . Cost: 8,350 gp
. . Notes:
. . . . Upgrade pre-existing breastplate

-(2) Maelstrom Shield
. . Get by: lvl 8
. . Cost: 14,170 gp
. . Notes:
. . . . Cant add spikes (dmg 1d8)
. . . . 1d8 dmg + trip better than 2d6 dmg right?
. . . . Should I buy two? Or no only one, because may be switching fully to unarmed only w/ Monk's robe
. . . . Without Monk's robe, unarmed doesn't pass shield dmg until lvl 20

-(3) Giant Fist Gauntlets
. . Get by: lvl 10
. . Cost: 20,000 gp
. . Notes:
. . . . Continues damage when unarmed
. . . . Only useful if: 1) attacking vs DR so unarmed is used, 2) unarmed is more than shield damage due to Monk robes

-(?) Pauldrons of the Bull
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 10,000 gp

-(?) Boots of Speed
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 12,000 gp
. . Notes:
. . . . May not be necessary as buffer bard / sorcerer are in party

-(?) Monk's Robes
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 13,000 gp

-(?) Belt of Thunderous Charging
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 10,000 gp

-(?) Gorgon's Belt
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 23,000 gp
. . Notes:
. . . . Ignoring terrain sounds great, but does poor terrain still affect bull-rush/overrun since I'm not doing it as part of a charge

-(?) Add Dispelling to Spiked Spell Storing Mithril Breastplate
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 10,000 gp

-(?) Brawling Armor Enchant
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: +3 enchant

-(?) Amulet of Might Fists
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 4000
. . Notes:
. . . . What are some good enchants besides flat for this?

-(?) Ring of the Ram
. . Get by: ?
. . Cost: 8600
. . Notes:
. . . . Can I apply my bonus damage to the bullrushes caused by this item?
