Gear for Niche Builds in Stores

Acemvi

One way of promoting build diversity is by the presence of gear that allows classes to branch out from their usual niche. An example would be spellswords, who frankly suck in CoA on account of low hp levels meaning they're dead the moment they get dispelled on the frontlines. The Fighter/Ranger/Paladin level they take also heavily penalizes them as they'll either never get 5th circle spells as a Sorcerer or miss out on a bonus feat as a Wizard.

Here's an example of some gear. All of this gear would be OUB Barbarian/Fighter/Paladin/Ranger/Sorcerer/Wizard and require that there be majority Sorcerer/Wizard levels along with at least 1 level in a martial class.

Warmage's Polearm
Halberd, +2 AB, +2 magical damage

Spellsword's Arming Sword
Longsword, +2 AB, +2 magical damage

Spellsword's Buckler
Small Shield, no ASF

Warmage's Uniform
Robes, 5/+1 DR

Ring of Battlefield Acuity
+1 Concentration, +1 Discipline, +1 Tumble

All of this gear could be added to the merchant in Clover Market (I forget her name, the pale elf who stands by Clodagh).

Clod

I am fairly sure she is mostly a Scroll and Wand merchant.

Spellswords have some major cool items available to them outside stores, unlikely to happen
