[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 792072, member: 96"] The passage saying "treated as masterwork with regard to creation time" in the DMG is intended to let you know you should use MW creation times for mithral & adamantite items instead of creation times based on their value. Thus, making a mithril breastplate takes as long as making a masterwork breastplate. Furthermore, mithril and adamantite items are not by default able to be enhanced in the rules as written. The rules specifically say "treated as masterwork [b]with regard to creation times[/b]" - not in any other way. "Treated as masterwork in case X" does not mean "are automatically masterwork in all cases". I, too, assumed that mithril and adamantite items were automatically masterwork, until I found that PCGen did not handle it that way, and I went on a search for the correct rules. Much to my surprise, I could find nothing that implied that mithril and adamantite items were automatically masterwork. Oh, and Anubis: simply SAYING something in ALL CAPS does not make it TRUE. If you want people to believe you, provide evidence. J [/QUOTE]
