Mithral armor

[Strife2002]

So mithral armor is always masterwork in quality. Does mithral's armor check penalty reduction of 3 already have the masterwork reduction of 1 factored in?

[Sniggevert]

Yes it does.

[Mergy]

Yes it's already factored in.

Full plate's AC penalty is ordinarily -6, and here is Mithral Full Plate of Speed. The AC penalty is -3.

Yes.

If you look at the Mithral Shirt item and compare it to a Normal Chain shirt modified by the Mithral properties, they will be equal only if you do not further reduce the ACP for masterwork.

Is mithril armor considered magical in nature? When I look at the magic item database, it seems to suggest that its not magical as it doesn't have a magical aura. How to differentiate between magical and non magical?

[Jeraa]

Mithral armor is not automatically magical. None of the special materials in the core rulebook are automatically magical. Magical armors all have at least a +1 enhancement bonus to AC.

No, but it is automatically considered silver.

So if the gnome is wearing a mithril breastplate, you can use them to beat up the werewolf.

Cast align weapon on him and he goes clean through some outsiders.

"Like a hot knife through butter"...

"Like an aligned gnome through devils"...?

What if the gnome is already good?

[Mergy]

If it's a gnome eldritch knight in a mithral breastplate, will he go through DR/magic?

[Undraxis]

Reading this thread made me laugh so hard I was in pain >.<

So glad the gnome hate is just as strong in pathfinder as in some MMOs, rofl

Sadly, it doesn't work that way, or a paladin could just punch devils to death without having to smite first.

An Ogre who uses a gnome paladin in full plate with catch off-guard.

"IT QUALIFY AS HOLY WEAPON! WEAPON, USE SMITE THING!"

[Happler]

two words, gnome-chucks...

dual wielding gnome monks by a giant monk. the gnomes, due to ki pool and the monks "attack with any body part" can act as magic, lawful weapons.

The only question is, do they count as monk weapons for flurry?

[Mergy]

Well they're monks, and they're weapons. So yeah.

[blackbloodtroll]

Does anyone remember the fling ally feat from race of stone? It had a picture of a Goliath tossing a very scary oompa loompa like gnome. I keep getting that nightmarish picture in my head.

Holy crap...! I can't believe I didn't know this! Was this something they introduced in PF or have I been oblivious to this in my 3.x days also?

Oh and Blackbloodtroll, that's the only image from that book that continuously stands out to me, and the only one I can ever remember. Horrific.

Mithral weapons count as silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

d20 Mithral doesn't have the same line, so I assume it's new to PF.

(And it specifies weapons, so the gnome would need mithral gauntlets in order to be effectively used as silver chucks, and the breastplate doesn't include them!)

or armor spikes maybe?
