JRROGERS 11-06-06, 01:09 PM	Hey All-- I currently have a level 5 Paladin or Heironeous, and am wondering what to purchase next. Here are my buys so far: +1 Platemail +1 Steel Shield +1 Longsword +2 Cloak of Cha Wand of Cure Light Wounds Various scrolls, potions, etc. Cold Iron Lance Silvered Light Flail Chainmail barding I am currently looking at a few items: +1 Vest of Reistance Pearl of Power, Level 1 Gauntlets of Strength +2 Periapt of Wisdom +2 AMulet of Health +2 What should I be concentrating on purcashing in these next few levels? Any items I've missed? Thanks! John Rogers

I just ponied up for Gauntlets of Ogre Power, though I also have a Vest of Resistance (not the most common of items, I don't think, and it takes up a slot that few other items would). You can always buy the gauntlets...unless your access to the Vest is Core or Regional, I'd snap it up now.

John Rogers I would take a second look at your consumables and make sure there are not things that you could be expanding upon there. Perhaps you have sufficient magical consumables that you can directly use. But what about magical ones that others could use (either for you, or in response to you) or mundane ones that you could use/pass out. The choices between those listed, only the periapt of wisdom is a poor choice. The neck slot will be the con amulet slot for you. The rest is a question of priorities depending on groups you find yourself in and the needs you find yourself with. Working on keeping your AC moderately decent could also be an option depending on group and needs. -James
