Question About Exotic Armor in Dark Markets

[Locke1520]

I just received my download of Dark Markets and ran across the entry for The Gilded Shell.

Dark Markets A Guide to Katapesh wrote:

All of Malthus’s suits of armor are of masterwork quality. He is also interested in working new materials into serviceable armor.

There is also a chart of new exotic armors which lists each exotic armor with a GP cost and the equivalent masterwork armor. But the costs listed in the chart don't necessarily reflect masterwork prices (3 come in under the +150 gp cost).

So my dumb question of the day is could a person buy for example Masterwork Blink Dog Hide for 175gp or is that just redundant?

I have a question as well is the armour sold usable by a Druid?

Given the materials it is made from I would say yes.

I hate to resort to this but--BUMP

The listed armors are not masterwork. You can buy masterwork versions of them at the normal price hike.

If they're not made of metal, a druid can wear them.

Thanks Sean. I thought that might be the case given the prices but I wanted to be sure.
