lighten armor

[apesamongus]

Is there any official enchantment that increases the Dex bonus you can get while wearing a suit of armor? If not official, then in any of the major non-WotC books?

Well, you can make it out of mithral ...

I believe that such a quality exists in some other book ... I want to say it was called something like "flexible" or something ...

IIRC there's a nimble enchantment somewhere that increases max Dex by 2, as a +1 enchantment.

i think it is in Magic of Faerun (2000ed) or maybe Players guide to Faerun (the update for 3.11ed for Workgroups)


mithril is the way nonmagically

but so too does Darkwood work to lighten up shields iirc

Yeah, the nimbleness ability is in Magic of Faerun, I believe. I don't think it reduces the weight, though.

Also, Magic of Faerun also includes Living Metal (or something like that) that improves the Max Dex of armor.

Do both.

And dragonscale armor made with Dragoncraft feat from Draconomicon count as one step lighter armor, just like mithral. I can't remember the exact qualities ATM.

Celestial armor is light chainmail that allows +8 of your DEX bonus to be used for AC.

A few levels of Champion of Corellon Larethian also work.
