Price of Full Plate for large creature (humanoid)

[hammymchamham]

topic says it all

 

[coyote6]

From the SRD:

Armor for Large characters costs double and weighs twice as much

Edit: normal full plate costs 1500 gp, so the Large edition would be 3k.

darnit, thats what I thought. Just wanted confirmation (or knowledge if I missed some kinda errata)

If it's magical ar then you don't need to pay any extra

"Magic armor, like almost all magic items, resizes itself to fit the wearer."

Heck in theory you could abuse this horribly by making full-plate to fit a fine sized creature, and getting it +1 enchanted, so your half-ogre (or whatever) can wear it. This of course assumes the ruling that large sized armour is double price extends up and down the size categories.

Even normal (medium sized) +1 fullplate only costs 2850, ending up cheaper than non-magical fullplate for the large sized creature.

I'd expect extra-small plate armor to cost the normal price. After all, making a pixie-sized suit of armor would be pretty damn hard.
