[QUOTE="Anax, post: 2629875, member: 19868"] True. This is pretty much equivalent to the wood version we were talking about (except the special wood is cheaper.) The real trouble with the mithral breastplate is that going from 1100gp to 4200gp for an additional +1 armor is cost prohibitive until quite late. Still, it's worth considering, I will admit. (And, of course, [url=http://www.wizards.com/leaving.asp?url=/dnd/images/dmg35_gallery/DMG35_PG221_WEB.jpg&origin=dnd_ag_20030711a]elven chain[/url] has high "ooo, pretty picture" points... Oh, I think the concept is great! It's just that the scenario is... creepy. Having the characters have no idea helps a lot, actually, because it means I don't have to resolve Hariel's ooky feelings over the matter before play. :) (Not only because it's hard to figure out [i]how[/i] to resolve them, but also because it'll be more interesting on-screen.) Heh. Well, Hariel hasn't put any skill points in Ride yet, and it's possible that this is more just the basics: things that really don't belong in the skill rank system in the first place. Your character would know something about riding, but very likely wouldn't have experience riding in combat, or show jumping, or whatever. Likewise, Hariel's not aiming for that level of proficiency at all. In short: if you think that's a fair reason to know each other, we can go with that--Ride ranks or no Ride ranks. If Hariel doesn't know anything about your character's history, then this scenario (befriending Lord Alistair's daughter) is perfectly in character for her. [/QUOTE]
