Is adamantine armor worth it?

Adamantine armor is really expensive, an additional cost of:
5,000gp for light armor
10,000gp for medium armor
15,000gp for heavy armor

It provides DR:
1/- for light armor
2/- for medium armor
3/- for heavy armor

I have adamantine plate on one of my characters. It was so expensive that I was unable to afford little else for a couple levels and still feel that I’m playing catch-up outfitting him. I will say it has saved his bacon a couple times. Once when he was attacked by Xill and they had a hard time getting past the DR and couldn’t implant. And it is fun, when I do take damage, telling a GM, “not all of that went through”. But, really, just -3 damage on most attacks?

What do you think, is adamantine armor worth it?

Hey all, I’ve got a character concept that I’m working on but I’ve hit a little roadblock.

(If this is posted in the wrong place, please forgive.)

I’d like to build a Varisian Tiefling Alchemist with the Crypt Breaker archetype. His back story is that he’s a Thassilonian scholar/expert who’s been recruited by the Pathfinders. Here’s the roadblock: I can’t find a way for him to get the Thassilonian language. It’s not available as a racial bonus language for Tieflings, nor for a Tiefling with high intelligence. Also, per the CRB, it’s not one of the languages you can learn when you put a point in Linguistics.

I guess I could just make him without knowing the Thassilonian Language but then he wouldn’t be much of a Thassilonian scholar/expert would he?

So… is there any other way (short of a boon I don’t have), or is there a rules exception I don’t know about? He’d got to be Society legal.

I realize I could change him to a different race that allows any bonus language with a high enough Int. but I’d really like to keep him Tiefling.

Any advice would be appreciated.

How can a Tiefling learn Thassilonian?
