Much, much more useful.+2 armour bonus to AC+2 bonus to ACThe second is unnamed, and thus stacks with everything.You use both. A Chain Shirt gives a +4 armour bonus to AC, your Dex gives a +4 Dex bonus to AC. The result is an AC of 18.(Incidentally, Chainmail is +5 armour bonus and a max Dex bonus of +2).See page 220 of the DMG (and the really great picture by Todd Lockwood).Elven Chain: +5 armour bonus, armour check -2, max Dex +4, light armour, 20 pounds weight, arcane spell failure 20%Mithral Shirt: +4 armour bonus, armour check -0, max Dex +6, light armour, 10 points weight, arcane spell failure 10%They give a Natural Armour bonus to AC. It's like toughening your hide; dragons don't wear normally wear armour, but have good natural armour. A Dragon that wears armour is scary...Wizards can also scribe scrolls from first level.To scribe a scroll of a 1st level spell  costs 12 gp and 5 sp, takes one day, and burns 1 XP.To scribe a scroll containing four 1st level spells costs 50 gp, takes one day, and burns 4 XP.That's a major empowering of the class!Cheers!</blockquote>
