Dragonhide armor for Mark / Hyrum

[Qstor]

This came up on the Are Hide shirts legal thread and at our PFS game on Saturday. The wording in the guide to Organized play is confusing. Is Dragonhide always available or is it an exception.

Thanks!

Dragonhide is an exception.

So, does exception mean "You can buy a dragonhide breastplate (cost 700 gp) when you have enough TPA to qualify to purchase that item, in this case 9 TPA", or "You can only buy a dragonhide breastplate if it appears on a chronicle sheet you've earned"? My reading of the PFS Guide is Option 1, but maybe that's just my misinterpretation...

It's option 1. You can also spend 2PA to get a dragonhide breastplate from your faction.

Excellent! I totally overlooked spending PA on a mundane item. My druid earned his TPA and bought a dragonhide agile breastplate, cost 1100 gp, instead, but nice to know this is an option for low level characters after only 1 or 2 scenarios. This should settle our rules discussion from Saturday, Qstor, thanks for agreeing to get an official ruling on it.

No problem :)

Mark you might want to clarify the language in the Guide to Organized play. I think that's what caused the confusion.
