Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bront" data-source="post: 3092851" data-attributes="member: 19696">The Mithril Question?  Yes, in general, anyone interested in wearing light armor will get Mithril chain or a Mithril Breastplate, and those that don't have either found a way around it, or gotten some kind of magic item that has made it a questionable decision.  In general, light armor wearers tend to be played where: A) Higher dex, so the max might matter. B) Lower strength, so encumberance may matter. C) Have abilities that don't function in heavier armors (be it skills where the ACP causes problems, or abilities like the Ranger, Bard, or Barbarian).Reasons to not wear Mithril:A) Magic item found that makes the benifits not worth it (Actualy, hard to do, since you can get it enchanted again, so you're talking near artifact levels, likely not an issue in LEW)B) Adamantine functions better (usually a heavy armor issue)c) Didn't know about Mithril (new players fall here)D) Mithril not available in campaign world. (not an LEW issue)Now, I won't say that they don't care about AC if they don't have it, but there are almost no cases where Mithril is a bad idea.As for the HAO, yeah, no big deal.  And I can fix the MAO issue next time i get a chance (it's an acutal rules error, so no voting needed).Just a note, MAO is slightly underpowered compared to the "Dash" feat, which I believe lets you increase your movement by 5' flat (or in all but heavy armor).  It's in the CV I think.  However, that's not realy an issue since it's not an available feat.Some of the suggestions here may make the feat better, and I think LAO realy is problematic in that it is better on some armors (Leather and Mithril Chain specificly) than others.</blockquote>
