[QUOTE="pascalnz, post: 4900048, member: 84938"] I should have mentioned finding things to make magic stuff is quite cool, as long as everyone is enjoying it, making magic items special is always a good thing I find:). I think masterwo9rk at one point was meant to be something else interesting but they just couldn't make it work properly, so we keep the fluff. I mean it sounds cool, all the funky ways the suits are "made" and I wish there was more stuff to do with that. But you can't "make" masterwork armour , there's no rules to do it, and it's indellibly stuck with the magic it's made with.[shown by transfer enchantment] basically the fluff is cool but grates horribly against the actual rules, of all the possibly abstract things in 4th this is the only one that gets my goat , I just can't reconcile it. Bob I do like your folding the benefits into the proficiencies. it's slightly weaker for pc's[you could possibly get +4 plate at lvl 11 as loot] but only very marginally and it sure does feel nicer. the other way round is to not have magic enhancement and just add it at appropriate levels and make armour a mixture of special abilities and masterwork qualities. but that way is a fair amount of work.
