[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 306898, member: 545"] A reasonable argument. But you have skirted around the question of how does one make MW mithral armor. Does it take exactly as long as making non-MW mithral armor? That would obviously be strupid. "Takes as long as" implies an increase to nominal cost and DC in the craft check. By the book, you go through the exact same process as if you were making MW armor, the only difference is you are using more expensive materials. So do you go through the process of making a MW item, but it turns out not to be MW in the end? That's certainly possible, but it is quite counterintuitive. Is MW mithral made by creating a "MW MW item"? Again, that is possible, but it is pretty kooky. Furthermore the normal 300 gp cost factor for making MW is a non-issue because you are paying much more than that in materials in the first place. Maybe the 300 is already figured in? Who knows? The hard truth is neither opinion, stacks or doesn't stack, is 100% consistent with the rules as written. The language is too sloppy. My vote is to pick what is the "least stupid" choice because it is too easy to ruleslawyer both ways. IMHO, no stacking. [/QUOTE]
