[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 151694, member: 1753"] The question of whether Mithril and Masterwork bonus' both apply to armor came up several times here and generated many opinions, but no conclusive answers. In Dragon 293 i noticed the Sage answered this question, though indirectlly. Heres the text: "[I]The dastana and charhar-aina each have an armor check penalty of 1. What armor check penalties to masterwork versions of these items have? What armor check penalty would mithril versions of these armors have?[/I] The armor check penalty for any item of masterwork armor is reduced by 1 (see page 113 in the players handbook). A masterwork dastana or charhar-aina has an armor check penalty of 0. Mithril reduces armor chack penalties by 3 (see page 243 in the dungeon masters guide). The minimum armor check penalty is 0. [B]The reduction for mithril and masterwork stacks.[/B]" Bold emphasis mine. Well, there you have it. Indeed, a masterwork mithril breastplate does have an armor check penalty of only 1. If this isnt a revelation, oh well, but i remember when i posted this very question last month there were many different opinions. Of course whether Sage=Rules or Sage=Crack is still up to you. :D [/QUOTE]
