[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6409596, member: 13009"] I mean a suit of leather armor +1, gives the same AC as a suit of non magical studded leather. I don't know how I can be clearer. The only difference is 3 lbs, and the look of the armor. A DM might interpret a druids unwillingness to wear metal armor as to cover studded leather, but an open minded DM is willing to allow bone or other materials to be the studs. So if some NPC was like I will trade this "magic" item for a 100 gp gem, I would laugh at him, purchase a suit a studded leather and have 55 gold left to drink and make merry. An added benefit of the mundane studded leather vs the magical leather armor +1, the mundane armor has a higher AC while under the effects of an antimagic field, so when in a fight with a beholder the magic armor is worse than the 45 gp off the rack studded armor. A purely fluff reason, I am sure I can get an armor merchant to customize a suit of studded leather, the magic armor only has one look and not so easy to change. [/QUOTE]
