My character recently came into a lot of money. I am at a loss for what all to buy her just because of the vast number of options.

I have 400k left after several crappy investments.

My character is a lvl 4 warblade, true neutral. The DM has put a cap on armor/weapons that the enchantment bonus can't be more than a +2 plain, but he says that with keen or something, we can go up to +7.

This is the very first true COMBAT character I've played, so I'm not sure what my priorities should be. Usually I'm a rogue or factotum and I have to focus on not being seen... but this character is for being seen and beating the living heck out of the thing that sees it.

I use a greatsword, and have breastplate armor. Stats are 16, 12, 16, 14, 10, 8. I don't have any stat boosting items yet but those are definitely on the shopping list. If relevant, my manuevers are moment of the perfect mind, emerald razor, wall of blades, leading the attack, and mountain hammer, stance is punishing stance.
(I haven't done the math to level up to 4 yet, so I guess I might have more stances/maneuvers I haven't allotted yet...)

um... yeah.

400k gp on a 4th level character is a bit much... and you can go up to +7 equivalent with special properties, but no higher than +2 from the enhancement bonus. Got it.

Mithral Full Plate, 10,500 gp
Make that +1 Soulfire (BoED), which gives you complete immunity to death effects, energy drain, and all negative energy effects, 25,000 gp
Get a Restful Crystal (MIC) for 500 gp and you can sleep in it without penalty, so you'll never have to take it off.

A Greatsword is a decent weapon, make it magical. The Wrathful Healing property from Enemies and Allies costs a +3, and it heals you for half the total damage you deal with that weapon on every attack, including bonus damage from strength, power attack, and martial strikes. I'd also make it Magebane in MIC for another +1, Brutal Surge in MIC for another +1, and Valorous in Unapproachable East costs a +1 and makes it so you deal double damage with that weapon whenever you charge. Of course it needs to be a +1 weapon, so that's +7 total for 98,000 gp.

You'll want a +1 Animated heavy steel shield, which is 9,170 gp.
A Lesser Crystal of Arrow Deflection in MIC is 2,500 gp and gives you an extra +5 AC vs ranged attacks.

Phoenix Cloak in MIC is 50,000 gp.

Ring of Freedom of Movement is 40,000 gp.

Hathran Mask of True Seeing is 75,000 gp.

Banner of the Storm's Eye is 15,000 gp.
Add a +5 Resistance bonus to your saving throws to that per MIC p234, since it takes a shoulders/cloak slot, costs 25,000 gp.

A Healing Belt in MIC is only 750 gp and well worth it.
Add a +6 Enhancement bonus to Strength per MIC p234 for another 36,000 gp.

A Necklace of Adaptation is 9,000 gp.

A Handy Haversack is 2,000 gp.

An Anklet of Translocation in MIC is 1,400 gp.

That leaves you with 180 gp, which should be enough to get the whole town drunk for an entire weekend.

He wanted to see what would happen if he gave that much to us :) there may have also been a couple double aughts and another low roll involved. I wasn't there that night.

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I feel much more confident moving forward now.

Good to know. I was sad that I couldn't use any wands or scrolls with this character. Especially after once upon a time playing a factotum that kept her mass amount of wands in a quiver of Elhonna...

Arg, I can't quite discern if brutal surge means you can bull rush AFTER inflicting damage. It seems like it. Because the normal is you either do damage OR push back, right?

I might have to cut mage bane or something, and gonna have to dip into my "savings" because I'm reeeeeaaally wanting a Third Eye Conceal...

Not sure if it's my web browser or what, but that page looks very very broken. No tables and the d20srd links are broken.
