Hello Playgrounders:

I've got a Scout in an E6 Campaign - He rides a griffin and has fly-by archery based feats. We're at E6+4 feats

I need help spending the rest of the cash, and I'm hoping to get some suggestions from you guys.

The E6 rules(as interpreted by DM) are that no casters above 6 exist, and therefore nothing with a spell level above 3 or CL 6 exists.

I gotta spend 52K, what do you guys suggest?

Thanks

I'm actually working out a comprehensive list of items and item properties that are available to characters under those restrictions (in white; highlighted in yellow are items and item properties with a spell level up to 4 and a caster level up to 8, which are available to 6th-level artificers), but it's been slow going; I don't know if I'll have the whole list done by the time you'd need it.

Thus far, I've completed the Magic Item Compendium and all books up to and including Ghostwalk in alphabetical order (including both Dungeon Master's Guides and the Dragon Magazine Compendium, but not setting-specific books).

When do you need your magic items by?

1.What's your build so far?

2.Does your DM allow custom items if used responsibly?

Probably going to need it by Thursday.

By your description, your build isn't set in stone yet, so may I suggest going:

Scout 4/Ranger 2?

This lets you:
-Grab Swift Hunter(bypass immunities! second FE and preserves skirmish)
-Utilize FE related items and feats(including getting more FE from feats)
-Gives you rapid shot for free which was probably on your feat list already

Alternatively: Scout 4/Ranger 1/Cleric 1 for knowledge devotion plus turning attempts to power it, but that's a more dramatic change...

Also, you didn't answer the part about custom items, such as getting deadly precision on a weapon, but instead of SA, it adds the same amount of skirmish.

Custom items should be ok, tastefully.

And your thoughts about adding the ranger levels?

Not really interested in discussing the build, just magic items that would fit well with the "Archer flying on a griffin" archetype.
