Both of these take up the same slot (Arms).

I thought the character builder let me equip them simultaneously... I'll check when I get home -- I haven't installed in the builder on my work PC... it felt wrong.

Looks good. The one thing I don't care for is this:

Dice of Auspicious Fortune (paragon tier)

Even if common decency should lead to allowing this in Mike's case, I think it's just way too good for the price. Being able to have 3 pre-set rolls and the ability to pull out any one is incredibly handy, since it's functionally a "you hit once an encounter automatically" item. I'd say it's way underpriced at 9000 gp, and it's an item which would be very useful even at epic levels (and actually becomes more powerful the higher level your powers are, plus it's a trifle to afford). And is doubly so in a game like ours, where daily powers are essentially encounter powers (since there's usually only 1 encounter a day). Everyone should definitely have that item, and that's a sign of a badly designed one for me.

In short, no dice

+1 for wordplay!

I'll pick up some other stuff... though I'm proud of myself for initially choosing a Mike-level of brokenness item. My gearhead skills are improving!

OK... the Dice are gone, and in their place I added a Diamond Cincture, Resplendent Boots (to help Yatagan move around the battlefield and play medic) and a Symbol of the Champions Code (+2 damage on his Challenge/Sanction, 1/day force a marked target to attack only him).

Nice picks. That definitely helps Yatagan do the healer-cum-protector thing. I had the Diamond Cincture for Chakram too (though I never actually needed to use it).
