The origin of my question is this picture of a squad of elite dwarven warriors wearing mithral armour and brandishing mithral weapons.
Now I check the special materials section in the dmg and read there that mithral gives these bonuses to armour check penalty’s, it weigh less and de max dex goes up.
But you don’t get any bonuses on either armour or damage. So for all combat purposes these dwarves could just as well have worn normal steel weapons and armour.
Or they would have had to use adamantine equipment. For that does confer bonuses.
Way would dwarves want mithral??
Ok is weighs less, that is good. But for the not that dextrous dwarves the rest of the bonuses don’t mean that much.
Is it just me or did I miss something ??
