I was looking at possible armors to have him wear to make wild so he keeps nice ac. The other option is to just go monk.  Anyways,  I was looking at darkwood and it doesn't go into the benefits on armor but does on shields. So If I made darkwood full plate it'd just be half the weight? What about armor check penalties? Shouldn't they be less also? Will max dex go up due to the lighter weight?  What about dragonhide half-plates or full plates? They basically say it costs twice as much as masterwork armor of the same type. But do any other abilities come? I recall there used to be things like 5 resistance to a elemental type based on the dragon used. And more protections when it was dragonhide. Are these things found in some other section I missed? Or is dragonhide armor just another way a druid can wear fullplate for an expensive cost?</blockquote>
