Shortlist of Magical Items Kib Should Acquire if he Gets the Opportunity (and their SRD Cost)

Gauntlets of Ogre Power (helps with obvious things): +2 Str, 4k gp
Gloves of Dexterity (more AoOs, which means more Hindering Opportunist and Improved Aid Another, and also more AC): +2 Dex, 4k gp
Manual of X +1: 27.5k gp

This is adorable. It's like the time when I was a kid I wrote "one million dollars in gold bars" on my christmas wish list!

Periapt of Proof Against Poison (this is for Anise, actually--6 Con means poison is by far the easiest way for her to die in a single hit): 27k gp
Mithral Breastplate (gives better AC than +1 chain with Kib's Dex bonus, with better other bonuses, and counts as light armor):4200 gp
Cloak of Resistance: 1,000 for +1, 4,000 for +2, 9,000 for +3

13: Field Marshall 5 (inspiration, FRW: +11/+8/+12, BAB +11/+8/+11)

Keep Diplomacy, Intimidate, Spot, Listen, Sense Motive capped.

Add to the next as points permit (highest priority first):

Bluff (the more in this the better)
Knowledge(whatever--local is good to have, arcana is definitely useful, nobility gives diplo synergy, arch and engineering give search synergy, history gives tons of useful tidbits, dungeoneering gives aberration knowledge, the list goes on)
Search (some points in this to make good use of the belt of Dwarvenkind)
Speak Language (as appropriate, but the more the merrier. More Servitor languages would be great)
Use Rope (securing a grapple is DC 10 +2/10', up to 50', with fail by 5 or more being the very bad result, so +15 is a reasonable target)
Swim (enough to keep afloat in water--without armor, that's a +5 for calm and +10 for rough)
Climb (good to have, +6 or so without armor is enough to not fall from most relatively easy climbs)
Ride (+9 gives automatic fight with warhorse success (+11 if horse damaged). +14 for most of the other stuff. +19 for fast mount, but that's modified by armor check).
Handle Animal (don't need this too high, but it's good with horses. +9/+11 needed to never fail a trick)
