This originally (AFAIK) appeared in the 3.5 supplement Races of the Dragon (and remember, PF is intended to be compatible with 3.5).[sblock=Chitin Armor]Chitin is less restricting than metal, even though it weighs the same amount. The maximum Dexterity bonus of an armor or shield made of chitin is 1 greater than that of the same type of armor made from metal. Breastplates, half-plate armor, full plate armor and shields can be made from chitin. (Typically, the only kind of shield crafted from Chitin is a tower shield, since most shields don't have a maximum Dexterity bonus.)A single giant beetle provides enough material to create a single breastplate or tower shield sized for a character of the same size category as the beetle. <SNIP> A suit of half-plate or full plate armor takes twice as much chitin, while a light shield or heavy shield takes half as much. (A chitin buckler can be made from the cast-off bits of any giant beetle.) The chitin from multiple giant beetles can be combined.Because chitin armor isn't made from metal, druids can wear it without penalty. Armor and shields fashioned from chitin are always masterwork items; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below. Chitin armor or shields cost double what masterwork armor of that type ordinarily costs, but take no longer to make than ordinary armor of that type.Chitin armor has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 5.[/sblock]Ack! Missed that... I generally don't even have an animal companion to equip. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I'll just drop the Cloak and keep the Barding, with a couple hundred GP left over.</blockquote>
