What should I spend this extra 10k on?


Advice

Sczarni

I'm a Dex/Wis Monk with:

Adamantine Elven Curve Blade +1 w/Keen 12k or so
Belt of Incredible Dexterity +2 4k
Feather Step Slippers 2k
Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier 5k
Headband of Inspired Wisdom +2 4k
Cloak of Resistance +1 1k
Ring of Deflection +2 8k

I still have 10k left to spend. What should I put it towards?

"I think I'd rather use Potions of Mage Armor until I can flat out purchase Bracers of Armor +4... and I'm not sure if I want Amulet of Natural Armor or Amulet of Mighty Fists +X... as I will be using Unarmed Strikes(through Snake Fang) as frequently as my Blade. That's a tough trade.. and I probably should have mentioned that in my previous post. My apologies."

Is there a reason you don't have an amulet of natural armor or bracers of armor? You seem to be fairly invested in defense, so those seem like obvious choices.

Edited my Main Post in response to that - Sorry about that Berinor.


booze
obviously booze.

apart from that, maybe Deliquescent Gloves?

Scarab Sages

I'll second the Deliquescent Gloves. They are a must have for monks or any melee class that can't use gloves of dueling imo. They will enhance both your ECB and your unarmed strikes, give you the option of making a touch attack for 1d6 acid, and let you safely punch oozes.

Silver Crusade

I took a poll of all the people in my office who play Pathfinder, and the answer was unanimously "hookers and blow".


Where are all your ioun stones?

Dust rose prism et al. Buy em up!

I'm guessing this is for a home game. If you will have a wizard or somebody of the sort, I'd seriously consider a first level pearl of power to get some Mage Armor going on. Your point about mighty fists makes sense.

If you're expecting to swap in a few strikes a round, you might consider Bodywraps of Mighty Strikes - they take a less exciting slot for a little less money but don't apply to all your attacks for the round. If you're expecting it to be on or off for the round, though, that's not a great choice.

Good ideas guys/gals! I'll look into this "Pearl of Power" thing and certainly those Deliquescent Gloves/Ioun Stones. If you have any more neat suggestions, please feel free!

I was also debating combining a Wand Key Ring with some kind of Wand... just not sure what.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

You're going to play Rise if the Runelords with that character, no?

You did not ask, but actually I would not keen my weapon but always go for the enhancement bonus first. Boring, but effective.
Either way, your weapon costs exactly 11.080 GP (by the way adamantine is a very good investment imho).

At least take a cloak of resistance +2. Saves are important in all games, maybe not that much at your current Level in RotRL. But you get a lot for your money.

That is 3.000 GP spent, 7.000 left.

Next boring advice: belt of physical might (dex/con) +2 for Fort saves and hit points. (10k instead of 4.)

This leaves you with 1k + the rest of the weapon money for potions and other stuff. Hm, that seems a little bit low...

Buy some weapon cords (it seems they work with two-handed weapons. Now you are quite save from sunder/disarm).

Ok, those were obvious and boring choices.

Grand Lodge

You are Dex based, not Str right?

Agile Curved Elven Blade (Adamantine +1 Keen as well of course)

It is exactly 10k more

Additional option

Amulet of Mighty Fist (Agile)/Amulet of natural armor +1

Costs 7k, if your GM allows it, as it is not a normal item. There are rules for such an item however.

Ring of Protection +1 and Bracer of armor +1 with the amulet to hit 10k
