<p>Mithril full plate acts like medium armor, therefor it acts like medium armor, not heavy armor which is what the Charakum is looking for. For some magical strange reason, Mithril full plate ends up losing its ability to protect you simply because what it acts like changes. </p>
<p>This is the same reason wearing an armor kilt with an armor coat, suddenly puts you into heavy armor, thus stopping the effects of the Chakarum even though your hands are totally exposed.</p>Talonhawke wrote:No mithril full plate actually is still heavy armor its just light enough that it acts as medium.

<p>You could wear mithral full plate.. Since MFP counts as medium armor.. Whoops, you take damage form chakarum. </p>
<p>Or you can spend most of your time running around in an armor kilt, which is light armor. you carry an armored coat with you, that you don as a move action. BOOM! putting on a your jacket with your dress you no longer take damage from chakrum! For more ridiculousness.. spend a move action putting on the coat, attack. Then Next turn attack, and remove the coat.</p>I feel your bain Nobnarb. I hate when you have stickler GMs that go heavily by the book and ignore things that don't make sense.
