Messing with Clockwork Armor.

10 attacks.

Oh, and it's intelligent and has a subtype/immunities associated with the god of your choice.

I'm totally going to make one of these sometime.

What's the CR? I smell BBEG

Add Gloryborn to turn the entire thing into a Clockwork Bikini? Sounds fun.

Just hope nothing gets stuck between the turning gears...

The Heavy Armor Optimization tree can be epic with this; you spend three feats to get a +2 to AC from the armor, a -3 to the ACP, and the armor bonus applies to your Touch AC as well as long as you are psionically focused.

Need I remind everyone that adding just one feat to an item is just a low, low cost of 2000 gp?

Unless you mess up on the skill check, there is no ACP on this armor.

[Amechra]

Fine, drop Greater Heavy Armor Optimization; you still get +9 to your Touch AC, which is the main thrust of my above post.

Don't understand this one.

Extrapolation from the cost of Iron Will as granted by the Otyugh Hole.

Thre's also specific rules for it in Arms&Equipment guide, although I think it's more expensive there.

A&EG says ~5-10k per feat, plus another 5k per prerequisite, I think. Something along those lines.

[Keldar]

10k, but that is for a very specific list of feats and for Extraordinary abilities for Intelligent items.  It is a consistent 10k though.

[Amechra]

Whoops, I meant 5k~10k; I misremembered the number.

I'm still lookin' around; I could have sworn I saw a non-homebrew, non-Pathfinder PrC based around armor optimization...

Because screw casters.

Seriously though, there's got to be some ridiculous way to abuse this we haven't thought of.

It'd be fun to make it glamered (I think that's the enchantment. The one that lets you disguise it as clothing.) "Why is your cloak making a whirring noise?"

[Amechra]

Hmmm... Now, too bad Golem Armor is an artifact; it would have been an excellent enchantment to throw on top of this.
