[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 471336, member: 96"] Ah, but that's where the logic is flawed. If I say to you "a mithril mace weighs half as much" but I don't tell you that there is any change in weight in mithril armor, is it really that logical to assume that there is no change in weight? Especially when I say that mithril armor is less encumbering? And when I can show you several examples of mithril armor that do weigh less? I think you're getting unnecessarily hung up on the fact that it said 'non-armor and shield items weigh half as much'. The reason armor & shields aren't included in that statement is because they [b]don't[/b] all weigh half as much - thwy weigh somewhere between half and a third as much. As for the "superior masterwork" idea, I'd be a lot more inclined to believe that if the prices for a mithril shirt or shield weren't the same ones as you got for adding the mithril price to the item in question.
