Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zad" data-source="post: 3228718" data-attributes="member: 90">Well, when I said "I like this game" I meant D&D but I like this particular game too. Over the years we've determined that the crafting rules... lack. They're really not very robust when it comes to dealing with mundane items. So we either fill in the gaps or just hand wave some things.Elizabeth's Craft Armor is high enough that, with some help and in Gurnezarn's forge, she can make masterwork stuff reliably. We were told we'd have "several months" between the end of the last adventure and this one, so time was not an issue (nor do we usually factor it in since the RAW suggest some things take ridiculously long.) So as far as the DC goes, not a problem. Your specific question as far as what was crafted really means "how long did it take" and we really didn't bother working it out given time was not an issue. I would probably have suggested just "craft" the MW plate - adding the mithril value means it would take you years.For cost, I took a third of the cost of (full plate + mithril) as written. Mithril armor is masterwork by definition and the cost is included. So 1,500 + 9,000 = 10,500 / 3 = 3,500gp. Crafting it yourself really helps with the cost. (I also had to pay for rental of the forge but it was still a good deal.)I had wanted mithril because it would be medium armor, and I was considering a feat that would up my movement when in medium armor or lighter. Then the boots showed up so now I'm wondering if I should have waited and held out for adamantine instead which I could have done for 5,500, but it's questionable if I could have obtained that much adamantine. I'm also not sure how much DR 3/- is really worth.</blockquote>
