I could include gauntlets and boots that could assist your incredible hand to hand fighting skills. What type armor would you want? I can make and enchant leather, chain or plate. But the tougher the starting material the longer it will take to make. For instance plate armor alone would take at least seven weeks. Perhaps chainmail, helm, gauntlets and boots could be done in five to six weeks of effort. Such would protect you from minor blows and greatly reduce injury from greater blows, similar to what I wear. It would only take a couple weeks to outfit you in fully enchanted leather...but that would still allow some injury from lesser blows and would wear out much faster." "Back when I was less adept at enchantment I used to wear enchanted ringmail covering enchanted leather or cloth but it now takes me less time to make and fully enchant brigandine, scale or banded ring which provides as much protection and lasts longer. Fully enchanted these provide just a bit better protection than normal plate armor. That would be the least armor I would suggest any wear while adventuring and fighting such opponents as we often seem to face. Those that melee on the front lines should have armor even better than that. Armor such as Ben'Dar or I wear. Ben'Dar's leather started out as tough as chainmail and I enchanted it further." "Unfortunately I am not yet a bowyer, so I cannot make and enchant a bow fit for you...yet. Someday perhaps. As far as costs...I consider creating the equivalent of one magic armor and one magic weapon for each fellow party member to be part of my share in the party...a way to make all of us both more effective and more survivable. If you choose to retire from the party, well we can consider the matter anew. Gauntlets enchanted to boost your close combat skills will count as your magical weapon. Remember that there are others waiting for me to have time to create these items for them as well. Time is a precious commodity for me as I have many things I must do and must divide up my time to do them. Possibly we shall start with just the armor and create the rest when more time becomes available. Some, such as Xian, chose to not have me make such items for them or can create their own." _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
