Okay.. to answer your question. First.. I wouldn't waste money on magic arrows. They get destroyed. A magic bow that does energy damage is cheap.. and that means you affect DR/magic. To know what bow to get, I need to know your strength. Strength of 11, you will persist Divine Power making it 17. That's +3.. composite longbow +3, magic +1, shocking. That's 8500gp. That adds 1d6 to damage.. or you could go with "precise", from A&EG. That gives you the benefit of the precise shot feat with your bow. Energy route (could go frost, fire, whatever..) 1d8+3(str)+2(divine favor)+1d6(energy).. and make sure you use greater magic weapon on this.. for +2 (magic) How many turn attempts do you have? If you have less than 14, and you want to persist two spells, get a nightstick.. (libris mortis) that gives you another +4 turn attempts if that helps. That's 7500gp. Hmm.. upon closer inspection, you have 4 turn attempts.. 3 cleric, 1 cha. You need at least 7 to persist a spell.. so you need the night stick. That will give you a total of 8 turn attempts. With your Dex/Wisdom.. I would be tempted to go with a monks belt. But it's real spendy.. 13,000gp. It would give your wisdom+1 to your AC if you go without armor. Perhaps at this level, going the armor route is okay. I would not ever buy armor that is magical! Use "Magic Vestments" and cast it "Extended." For 16 hours you will have magic armor. (And you can only travel 8 hours a day without fatigue issues.) Most of the other suggestions are pretty good.. you need AC. Again.. I like the monks belt route as you approach 10th. So.. I would go Amulet of Natural armor +1, gloves of dex +2 as well.. and normal chain. (or masterwork mithral) I would stay away from a ring of protection, it won't stack with "shield of faith", which is a deflection bonus. bow - 8300gp night stick - 7500gp amulet of nat armor +1- 2000 Glove of dex +2- 4000 Bracers of Armor +2 - 4000 Handy Haversack - 2000 (gotta carry stuff) masterwork chainmail - (don't have a book)-- 300gp? Total.. 28100 I would use your diplomacy skill to knock off 10% to fit under the 27000 gp limit! ;) (or give up the haversack for now)
