Well, living in a land locked state (we don't seeem to get whaelin either the Ohio river or Lake Erie) I don't know a lot about whale skin. I'd think it would be prepared similar to leather but I'm probably really wrong there.

I'd be tempted to increase the max dex to at least +3 just to make it more equal the other armors. The no negatives for swimming is nice, but that only negates a -2.

I would opt to use the stats for leather armor, and then treat whale-skin as a special material that adds to the base cost.

That could be interesting. We could do that wit hShark hide as well. Of course they could only be applied to padded, leather, and hide but it's doible.

THat certainly sounds like a good idea. DOes + 100 gp sound about right?

What bonus should shark skin armor grant?

+10 feet on your swim speed?


What would that be worth?

+1,000?
