[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 6821081, member: 6802604"] As far as being able to obtain the armor to begin with, I would say it's more than reasonable for a 5th level character to buy something like this in a major city. By the rules a 3rd level character could craft an item of uncommon rarity, so buying one at two levels higher seems fine to me. That you're only looking for a mundane item crafted out of an uncommon material makes it all the more sensible to me. Cost is trickier. No cost is provided for raw materials in the books, buying an uncommon item is listed as costing 101-500 gold and crafting an uncommon item has a listed cost of 500 gold plus the time to craft the item. I think the reasonable thing to do is for your DM to take that rough 100-500 gold range and add it to the base cost of the basic armor. If it were my table, I'd lean towards the upper end of range, but not the full 500. I'd probably have a starting price around 475 and maybe even let you have a chance to haggle it down as low as maybe 400. But it's all arbitrary of course, every DM will be different. That said, at the very least I think it's more than reasonable to find the item for sale. If your DM won't even let you get that far I'd disagree with that ruling. [/QUOTE]
