Mithra Buckler.....how much

[Seph]

How much would a mithra buckler cost.....oh and as well....will it exceed the arcane spell failure as well

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

Mithral, added to a shield, costs 1,000gp.

A mithral buckler, then, costs 1,015gp.

Mithral reduces ASF by 10%, which means a mithral buckler has no ASF.

so in other words a sorcerer can wield it with no penalties other then the regular shield profienciency

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

A sorceror can wield it with no penalties whatsoever.

If you wield a shield with which you aren't proficient, you take the armor check penalty of the shield to most actions (including attack rolls, most movement-related skill checks, etc). Mithral bucklers have no armor check penalty, and therefore have no penalty for nonproficiency.

 

[Jack Simth]

The sparkcaster doesn't even need Shield Proficiency, as the penalty for non-proficiency (ACP applied to many skills, rather than just a smallish set) is 0, as the ACP of a Mithral Buckler is 0.

Edit: Bah! Three minutes late....

Ah yes, the old mithril buckler. The only one who can't use it is the monk! (and now assassin, and anyone using a monk's belt). It's an awesome thing, and I'm pretty sure that the only reason it's not included in any standard equipment list is so that it won't be widely noticed.
