There aren't (as far as I know) rules clearly stating this, but the cost of mithral should be applied after determining the base cost of the armor, not before. As you point out, a Large creature wanting armor is better off buying super-enchanted magic armor, rather than plain mithral.

That's why I don't quite understand. My gut says, "add material, then multiply," but that means mithral medium barding runs about the same cost as +4 light barding (within 1000gp)

Chainshirt barding:
100x4=400gp
+150 masterwork (as per crafting rules, cost is specifically added seperately)
+16000gp (+4 enchantment)
= 16550 for +4 chainshirt barding

Mithral Scale mail barding:
50x4=200
4000x4=16000 mithral
= 16200 (mithral scail barding)

I'm not too far away from acquiring my holy mount in my crusade against evil. As I will most likely care for said mount, I will want to outfit him with decent barding. I, being a Tengu, am going to see if I can receive a roc as my mount (understanding that he'll have to grow into the role of mount), but am worried that I will not be able to afford his armor. I am aware that scale mail barding ought to cost about 200gp. However, as he needs to fly, I want to splurge and give him mithral scale mail. Will that cost about 4200gp or 16200gp? I'm really curious if material is multiplied into the cost, or if it is a flat rate added to the already multiplied armor.

I think you should ask your GM for that because I highly doubt he'll allow anything (if already rangers are limited, why shouldn't paladins be?)

Well, while there is no written limitation RAW, I'd self-impose a "must be able to ride it" (i.e., must be large or greater in size). Certain one's I'd have to wait till 7th level to use, (like the T-Rex), bur they'd be ridable.

Hey, all you wonderful people,

I was wondering if there was a comprehensive list of animal companions (Pathfinder only, no 3.5/3.0) anywhere. My paladin is rapidly approaching 5th level, and I'm trying to figure out what he'll have as a mount. Right now, I'm thinking T-Rex (I know I'll have to wait till 7th level to ride it), but I'd like to see all my options and be able to compare them side-by-side.

Three things:
1) As a Tengu, I am honored that you mentioned my kind in your choice of "player races" earlier on in this board. I too hope for a day when the people of the world can learn more of our kind, our great heritage, and stop assuming that the beggar Tengu on this side of Golarion are par for the course.

2) You mentioned much earlier on that in your personal game system that you're constantly working on, it's gone through the 3.0 rule-set, the d20 modern rule-set, and you've now updated it to the Pathfinder rule-set.
With that in mind, what did you consider the toughest part about going from d20 modern to Pathfinder and do you have any advice about doing such a transition?
I ask because I am currently working on updating the d20modern system as a whole to Pathfinder (PFModern Alpha).
3) To that end, do you have any advice for such an endeavor?
