Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light."does this mean that a duskblade could use a full plate with no chance of failure as long as it is mithral? It is still pretty balanced considering 10500g just for mithral full plate (AC+8,max dex+3, ACP -3. SFC 25%, 25 lbs)you could always just get a +3 breastplate for 9350g and it has (AC+8,max dex+3, ACP -3, SFC 25%, 30 lbs)+4000 to that medium armor would make it count as light, giving you more movement, +2 max dex and an additional 2 off the ACP as well as 10% off the SFCthe onyl real benefit to the heavy of the medium is the fact that after that initial crapload of 10500g it becomes relatively cheap to upgrade (1000,4000,9000 etc for magical enhancements)to compare two high levels suits...+3 mithral breastplate 13,350g (+8 AC, +5 MD, -1 ACP, 15% SFC, normal speed, 15 lbs)+2 mithral full plate    14,500g (+10 AC, +3 MD, -3 ACP, 25% SFC, -10/-5 speed loss, 25lbs)keep in mind two things, if i'm right about mithral heavy armor with duskblades then SFC means nothing. Also the fact that any further upgrades to those armors the full plate is going ot be cheaper rahter then more expensive. i guess it really comes down to speed loss and how high your dex modifier is. your input?</blockquote>
