[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 405741, member: 7211"] [b]Heh[/b] Well, I simply think in "this case" the phb spells and enchantments are actually more powerful, in most situations, than your variant. However I love house rules :) Well, I was thinking about this some more, and this was the idea. Basically, the bulk of the armor would be mae of the metal alloy, however the adorning pieces and an outside layer of the armor would be made with the dragon scales. I am no armorsmith, and have no concept of how these things are really put together, but I like rules for weird situations :) Anyway, I was thinking this would provide the elemental resistances (or damage reductions) without the natural armor bonuses. Basically, youre getting the "magic" without the toughness. So, how would this be priced? Black Dragon Mithral Chain Mail AC +5 Acid Resistance 10 Light Armor, otherwise as mithral chainmail. Note, that whoever is making this purchase (or from scratch) had to get some pretty difficult raw materials (depending on your game world, I don't let sleeping wurms lie). or this? Red Dragon Full Adamantine Plate Mail AC +10 Fire Resistance 20 Heavy Armor, otherwise as Full Adamantine Plate. Again, these are incredibly rare materials, you could not make this combination without the dragon scales, so their worth should be calculated as already in the cost. Just some ideas, Technik [/QUOTE]
