[QUOTE="CuriousBard, post: 57451, member: 1923"] I'm interested in exploring the addition of an enhancement that will reduce the type of armor by one step (from heavy to medium, medium to light, etc). I'm aware that this is already possible with using Mithril as the crafting material, but Light armor is still considered uneffected and remains Light. This magical enhancement would reduce Light to nothing......in essence, Light armor is no more encumbering than common clothing. Here's the situation....... Some PrC's have abilities that only function when not wearing any armor. An example is the Duelist. I have a player in my group that has worked hard to develop a character idea that involves him owning a special rapier and a shirt of mithril chain that both have significant histories. Being the Rogue/warrior type and swashbuckler that he is, he'd love to take Duelist when he begins to qualify. The problem is, his light armor that is in essence a part of him disallows him from using many of the Duelist skills and powers. So my solution is to come up with an Armor Enhancement called "Feather Light" or something similar. My question is though, would that be akin to a +2 or +3 bonus? More? Less? I'm personally thinking something along the lines of +2 or +3. I realize that someone with money could make Heavy armor out of Mithril to reduce it to Medium and then take this enhancement to reduce it further to Light. Not bad being able to run around in Full Plate as if it were Leather. Quite a bit of coin, mind you, but not bad for those that have the money to burn. [/QUOTE]
