Also: with the current rules, you can create highly survivable characters without magic items (e.g., fine plate + Toughness, + shield expertise and a shield = anywhere from 9 to 12 armor points - effectively immune to most physical threats). If you want to go up, up and away from that base, magic items will definitely get you there. A character with +5 fine plate and a top-end magic weapon is both nearly invulnerable and able to kill or incapacitate most things in 1-2 turns. It is hard to know what you would want beyond that.
