Hey ya. I have a question that i don't know where to exactly ask, here or on some other part of EN World..... any moderators, feel free to relocate it...
Our party just reached Lvl5 and we entered the City of Splendors, so we try to goad our DM to reveal some of the nice shops and artisans of this great city, so we can.... you know.... go shopping and spend some of that hard earned gold. Most of my team mates ask for enchanted weapons (yeah, i know magic is not supposed to be get in stores in 5E), but i look for something more..... well..... out of the box?
Namely i want to get a mithral heavy armor. Not a plate or splint. Just a chainmail to replace the one i currently have. A non magical variant. I just want to sneak in it without penalty (i am a fighter with a great sword, so yeah, DEX isn't high on my priority and medium armor is a no go). A problem here.... 5E doesn't really have any prices for stuff like this. It only has for ordinary armor and the uncommon items (that the mithral armor falls under) are listed as 101-500gp.
Do you guys think it is appropriate for a lvl5 character like mine to get an armor like this via a shop in Waterdeep? And if so, how would the item be priced? 3x, 4X, 5X the normal value of the item? I know it is ultimately a DM decision, but i'd like to have at least something to propose to him. Not even the price of mithril is given as raw material for crafting......
