[QUOTE="trentonjoe, post: 12143, member: 304"] A couple of points I didn't include in my first points, most of which you guys brought up. 1. The last adventure we went on was a mission for an old, large, obviously well financed dwarven clan. We were offered 3,000 gp each. I asked that in exchange for the gold I would do it for enough mithral to make a mithral shirt and a buckler. He led me to believe that this certainly was a possibility. He never actually said yes but I thought I was going to get it. 2. I am an elf. 3. I took the ranks in armorsmithing (elven armor), thinking, incorrectly, that this would be an appropriate skill to have for my purposes. 4. For 7 of the first eight levels I have been wearing an elven armor I kinda made up (ie stole the idea from Dragon 279) that is padded armor in all ways except it is made from leaves. I had multiple oppurtunities to have "better" armor but kept holding out for the mithral shirt. 5. I offered to spend a feat on craft magical arms and armor even though you don't need it to make it. Basically, I thought I covered most of the role-playing aspects. The DM basically told me I should have taken the +2 leather that was available at one point. Which I didn't take because I thought I was going to be able to make the mithral shirt. End rant. [/QUOTE]
