[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 1446218, member: 12680"] Thanks Quasqueton. I was beginning to be swayed the other way. I had always thought that mithral made it one category lighter. That is why they had to specifically mention that light armor stayed at light armor. I can understand why people would be confused by the wording when it talks about limitations when limitations aren't defined. Even though CW isn't RAW, it does give more evidence and I would say that mithral heavy armor can be considered medium armor in every way. Mithral medium armor can be considered light armor in every way and mithral light armor can be considered light armor in every way. It would have been more clear if they would have written that rather than just stating that it overcame all other limitations. All other limitations sounds pretty encompassing to me, but they probably wanted to let you know that full plate is still a heavy armor type... even if it is treated just the same as a medium armor. Not necessary, but that is how it is. We could probably rewrite half the book to overcome all the vagueness that is there... but in so doing we would probably create as many problems as we fixed since the different wording would no longer fit with the wording in other sections.
