Query: Masterwork Armors?

[jcfiala]

I'm not entirely sure, from reading the PHB, how the fancy masterwork armors with the 'special' prices are assigned. My current guess is that the medium masterwork item is automatically part of any +4 or +5 armor, and that the really good masterwork armor is automatically part of any +6 armor. Am I correct, or is there something I missed?

Thanks.

You are correct.

Welcome to most poorly expressed rule in the game.

Most people seem to have eventually come to the same conclusion as you, and the official FAQ also happens to agree.

You are correct.

Well, I feel smart then. Thanks. It wouldn'ta killed them to add a sentence explaining this somewhere?
