[QUOTE="Wolf72, post: 703665, member: 265"] [b]me3!!![/b] yuppers, I went with a flat +2 for medium armors, and heavy armors got the +2 and simple DR 1 (or 2 for full plate). There is a price jump of 50gp (medium) and 200gp (heavy) as well. and for comparison here are my feats: [i]choose one type of armor [leather, chainshirt, hide, splintmail ... whatever] as you would choose a weapon for specialization or focus[/i] [b] Focused Armor (general, fighter) [by Wolf72][/b] You excel in the use of a particular armor or shield. Prerequisite: appropriate armor feat (light, medium, heavy, shield) Benefits: Choose one specific type of armor, you get -1 ACP and +1 max dex bonus. Shields only benefit from the –1 ACP. [b] Armor Specialist (general, fighter) [by Wolf 72][/b] Your superior skill with armor allows you to use it more effectively. Prerequisites: +3 BAB, Focused Armor Benefit: With the specific type of armor [i][ie: chainmail or half-plate, or etc][/i] you are focused you gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC (it stacks with other dodge stuff). You lose this bonus any time you would lose a normal dodge bonus. Special: You do not need the Focused Armor feat if you want ot specialize with a shield (buckler, small, large). [b] Armored Mobility (general, fighter) [by Wolf72][/b] You are an expert at moving in a specific type of heavy armor. Prerequisites: +2 BAB, Focused Armor Benefit: Armor counts as one category less for you (minimum of light). This allows you to move faster with medium armor (or use a ranger’s special abilities), or use the full run ability in heavy armor. Special: This feat does not stack with any other ability that lessens the weight or encumbrance of armor, specifically mithral (a suit of mithral half-plate will not count as light armor). [note: these feats are like weapon focus/spec ... you take a specific armor ... like a breastplate and from then on that feat applies to breastplates ... mithral, standard, wooden, whatever.] [/QUOTE]
