Dragon hide armor

[Lou Diamond]

Could we get the price of dragon hide armor that has engery resistence like it would if the armor was made out of the hide of the dragon that it was taken from? Also what would the AC bonus change depending on what age dragon the hide was taken from?

You'd be better off asking questions like this in the Rules Forum, but HERE is a link to the PRD regarding cost of Dragonhide armor.

Enchantment costs are reduced by 25%. So, hypothetically, if you wanted to put a +1 enchantment upon a Dragonhide Breastplate +1, the cost would be 2250gp instead of 3000gp.

The upgrade discount is based on the donor for the dragonhide armor. The prices do not include the base price of the +1 armor needed before adding the resistance enchant.

For red dragonhide armor the prices are:
Energy Resistance(acid, cold, electricity, sonic) is +18,000
Energy Resistance(fire) is +13,500
Improved Energy Resistance(acid, cold, electricity, sonic) is +42,000
Improved Energy Resistance(fire) is +31,500
Greater Energy Resistance(acid, cold, electricity, sonic) is +66,000
Greater Energy Resistance(fire) is +49500

The age category of the donor dragon has no effect on the AC bonus of the armor made, but the size of the dragon determines what kind of armor can be made from the donor dragon.
