Message: <blockquote data-quote="Waterbizkit" data-source="post: 6821214" data-attributes="member: 6802604">I disagree with the hypothetical decision in so far as it's not the one I would make at my table. I didn't mean to say that if I were the player and the DM flat out said "No, you can't find that item for sale anywhere in the city." that I would openly disagree with him/her at the table. If that was unclear I apologize.To me, the player is asking to purchase a mundane item made from an uncommon material. It's not enchanted armor or indeed magical in any way other than being made of mithril. That seems like a reasonable thing to seek out and find in a major city like Waterdeep. It also strikes me as a fairly reasonable item for a 5th level character to have given that per the crafting rules, as I'm recalling them off hand anyway, would allow a 3rd level character to craft the same item so long as they had 20 days, 500 gold and proficiency with smithing tools.But this is all a fairly pointless discussion because in the end only the OP's DM will get to decide what happens. I'm only stating how I would likely run it at my table under the same circumstances in order to give the OP some basis to possibly form a proposal for their DM. So again, if the way I worded that with regards to what I might disagree with and why caused some confusion I apologize.</blockquote>
