I have a 9th (soon to be 10th) Half-orc Barbarian2 Fighter 2 Fist of the Forest 3 Bear Warrior 2. He's pretty effective, and because we don't have any CoDzilla or batman wizardry going on, he feels like he contributes quite well.
The issue I'm having is that, for the most part, all his gear gets absorbed into him when he bears out. Unlike druids, who shapechange for hours, it isn't like I could take off all my talismans and rings and such, then put them on again as a bear. What are my options for good expenditures for my wealth? Obviously, things one use out of combat (gloves of climbing/swimming), or might want to have working before I one gets into combat (cloak of resistance, even if you lose it when raging, at least the high initiative enemy is going to have a harder time getting off a save-or-suck on you before you can act). Wild armor is good, but redundant for a FoF. If there was an 'wild' amulet of mighty fist-like item that provides enhancement bonus to your natural attacks while shapechanged, that would be amazing. What else? ioun stones? Is that about it?
Thanks in advance!
