Where are you getting this for 20K? In fact, you could get an Augment Crystal that grants DR 5/-, but only up to 50hp/day and only if you wear heavy armour. It is good, though(from MIC). Other than that, it really depends on your class and what equipment you already have.

He may falsely think that this DR can stack with something else to become DR 5/-. But DR does not stack.

Flat DR/- rate, refreshes each day -you could blow it all on a Ring of Invis. can't see you, can't hit you (easilly) plus it's very utilitarian -anything to amp your movement speed; mobility is typically better than more AC. ie)monster that must move more than 5ft cannot full-attack you. consider giants. -party invest in Cure Light Wand (750gp). so cheap, so effective -AC augmentation is cheaper than weapon augmentation. partial to good Animated Heavy Darkwood/Mithral Shield+1, especially if you're using 2-handed weapon or fetching alot of stuff via Item Retrieval, messing w/ doors, etc. -Heward's Handy Haversack, every PC should get one. how does this prot. you? ever tried to guess what potion you're drawing/drinking in darkness, etc? how do you rummage through 40lbs of gear for that 1 tindertwig easilly?
