Message: <blockquote data-quote="Korin Tempest" data-source="post: 734065" data-attributes="member: 10494">Quoting the SRD magic item creation section (dated 2/14/03):Mithral: Mithral is a very rare silvery, glistening metal that is lighter than iron but just as hard. When worked like steel, it becomes a wonderful material from which to create armor and is occasionally used for other items as well. Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light. Spell failure chances for armors and shields made from mithral are decreased by 10%, maximum Dexterity bonus is increased by 2, and armor check penalties are decreased by 3. Nonarmor or nonshield items made from mithral weigh half as much as the same item made from other metals. Note that items not primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected. Weapons or armors fashioned from mithral are treated as masterwork items with regard to creation times, but the masterwork quality does not affect the enhancement bonus of weapons or the armor check penalty of armor. Mithral has a hardness of 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness.Item        Market Price ModifierLight armor    +1,000 gpMedium armor+4,000 gpHeavy armor    +9,000 gpShield        +1,000 gpOther items    +500 gp/lb.From this, I would infer that all weapons and armor crafted from mithril are already in fact masterwork, though do not gain the enhancement bonus on weapons or the armor check penalty mod for armor..... seems fairly obvious to me...my two cents</blockquote>
