[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 3590276, member: 1622"] That's completely the opposite of the true utility. Mithral makes heavy armors count as lighter, that's a huge benefit. Making Heavy armor count as medium means barbarians can wear it and not lose their +10' movement. Making medium armor count as light means it doesn't reduce normal people's movement from 30 to 20. The other benefits - additional dexterity maximums and lower armor check penalty is exactly equal benefit across all armor types. One might even say the higher dex modifier is more useful in heavy armors, because a lot more people can take advantage of +2 or +3 total dex modifier than +6. So... yeah, heavy armors should definitely cost more for mithral from a mechanics standpoint, and from an in-game logic standpoint, they simply use more mass of the material, and should cost more anyway. -Nate [/QUOTE]
