Hello,
I'm running a Pathfinder game, and a player asked if he could made a Mithral Celestial Armor and stack all the bonuses.
My first reaction was "no", Celestial armor is made of gold or silver. Since it isn't a prerequisite for the fly spell, I can only suposse that it is a prerequisite for the Celestial magic effect (there're other magic effects that can't be cast in every material). Furthermore, there isn't any guideline about unique armors in the core rulebook, there isn't any spell similiar to the celestial magic, and there isn't rules about how the properties that mithral and celestial armor improve would stack.
On the other hand I don't know if it would break the game, mithral isn't expensive at mid levels, and would allow the user to save some feats (i'm thinking about spellcasters that wear armor instead of bracers of armor), it would also be great news for characters with high Dex and unfair for characters that have abities focused on armors.
Any experience / comment about that?

Hm. Since Celestial Armor already has a effect built into it which is superior to mithral, I wouldn't allow it. Remember, it is a chain mail, which normally has a maximum dexterity bonus of +2 and an armor check penalty of -5. Celestial armor has a max dex bonus of +8 ( four better than mithral chain ) and an armor check penalty of -2 ( same as mithral ).
