Im starting a game soon where I will be playing a 5th lvl human totemist who has the normal gp for that level. His basic stats are as follows using 32 pt buy:

Str: 14
Dex: 14
Con: 16
Int: 14
Wis: 10
Cha: 10


BAB: +3
Fort: +4
Ref: +4
Will: +3 (Iron Will)

Feats: Able Learner, Iron Will, Improved Essentia Capacity (Flaw: Vulnerable), and Azure Wildshape (The last is debatable. Im still trying to convince my DM the natural attack bonus should apply to Totemist souldmelds as well).

Soulmelds (Essentia): Ankheg (2), Landshark Boots- Bound to totem (1), Lammasu Mantle (Im playing a Ravenloft campaign), and Purple Worm Belt.

I get an extra point of essentia from Azure Wildshape into which it goes.

Im trying to focus on natural attacks and armor. If I calculate correctly without my book in front of me, I have an AC of 19 (21 against evil).

And so now I have to equip my character.

Ive come up with the following so far, but am open to suggestions:

Amulet of Natural Armor +1
Heward's Handy Haversack
Ring of Sustenance
Cloak of Resistance +1
and various sundries costing about 147 gp.

This leaves me with 1353 gp, but as I said I am open to change if it helps. Im planning to save up for a Necklace of Natural Weapons, because I cant afford it at the moment with the other items. Perhaps I should get rid of the Ring of Sustenance? I am unsure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
