[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 3246587, member: 21215"] I currently interpret and run it as being of the lighter class of armor, taking the text as meaning that it functions as lighter armor, and thus qualifies for the lighter category of proficiency. To be fair, though, I never really thought I was "interpreting" the text, so much as WotC was being overly wordy in their descriptions, i.e., "other limitations" such as possession of specific armor feats. I swear I've seen a WotC product with someone in mithral armor statted out without any limitations due to lack of proficiency - but I can't remember where...I may have a chance tonight to look it up tonight - but unlikely. Too many damn books. From a Different but Same standpoint, so far every computer adaptation of the 3 or 3.5 ruleset I've seen classifies them as simply being the lighter category armor and thus not needing a heavier proficiency. But, that is computer adaptations, and not necessarily an absolute truth with regards to tabletop rules. [/QUOTE]
