I have a suit of adamantine full plate and mithral gauntlets. How much does the entire ensemble way?
When gauntlets come with a suit of armor by default, does the armor's listed weight value account for the gauntlets or not?
The answer to the first question could be 49 lb., 50 lb., 51 lb., or 52 lb. So which is it?
EDIT: The above questions can apply to prices as well. Does a suit of adamantine full plate come with adamantine gauntlets? Why or why not?
Could I buy adamantine full plate without the adamantine gauntlets for 10,496gp (the price of the plate minus the price of the two gauntlets)? Or else sell the gauntlets to recoup some of my financial losses?
Full Plate: This metal suit includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots....I would say yes to the second question.
Really? I was expecting a hoard of haters to come in and call me a power gaming twink for even asking.
As to your first question I would think you could subtract the weight of the gauntlets from the full plate and then add the halved gauntlet weight back to the total.
That's what I was thinking as well. Still, I'd like some official input on the matter if at all possible.

If the suit includes the armor, and the weight of the armor is X pounds then why would it be counted separately. If you weigh yourself do you go back and weigh your arms separately? I know you don't, but the same logic applies.
