[QUOTE="Minirogue, post: 4847379, member: 83947"] Actually what you are quoting is discussing whether or not dragon's hide makes hide armor or scale armor. On PHB 212-213 under hide it says: "hide armor is composed of skin from any creature that has a tough hide, such as a bear, a griffon, or [B]a dragon[/B].", and under scale it says "Overlapping pieces of highly durable material, such as steel or even dragon scales, make up [B]scale armor[/B]" I have already conceded that it could make regular scale armor rather than wyrmscale (which I shall justify by it being a young dragon). Although, I see that you are correct in your statement...but wouldn't it make sense that since they are mimicing a dragon's scales, then a dragon's actual scales would likely fall under the same or a similar category? I think my final plans are to (since I took liberty with the DMG town and made it smaller so it doesn't include all the stuff the DMG said it did (like the dwarf smith)) send them to the next town where they will find dwarf blacksmithing brothers who's (adopted human) ritualist brother has been kidnapped by goblins, etc, etc. So they can make the armor, but the players have to rescue the brother from another mother to bring out it's magical qualities. (into cold resist scale or hide armor). That takes care of the price problem (saving their brother should be price enough, not to mention if they use whatever arcane ritual components they would have gotten from the rest of the dragon), and it allows for more adventure to spread out the magical items.
