That's why the Mithral full plate underneath will be only masterwork.
So the armor on this PFS character will cost me:
Mithral full plate: 1500+9000=10500
+1 Mithral Armored Coat: 50+5000+(4000-150)=8900
for +9 AC, Max Dex Bonus +3, ACP -2, 25% ASF, 35pounds of weight, and the brawling property. And looking bloody badass.
Mithral items are already masterwork.
This is one of the first times I have heard of someone finding a good way to use the Armored Coat.

Stop stalking my quirky-idea threads, BBT! You were even the first commentor when I first thought of and shared the (paragon surge)+(expanded arcana) exploit on these boards! ;)
Dual-wielding armored spikes? O_O
"Look Mum! I can do two-weapon fighting whilst using both hands to play my flute!"
I feel like I might have started an idea for a very wierd bard... XD
Eh, non-monks are better unarmed in bonuses when tallied up, monks just have better dice rolling (they can't use Brawling).
You didn’t say, but if you are getting the brawling enchantment, that suggests you are going to take levels in Monk. You know you lose Evasion if you wear medium armor.Sure, monks can use Brawling Armor, why not? I do believe that a good unarmed combat build can benefit a great deal from levels in Monk. I've posted a build or 2 that demonstrates that.
But show me your higher damage, unarmed nonMonk build, and I'll proudly use your ideas and give you a shoutout every time.
Brawling is for light armor only, few monks wear light armor. It can't be placed on the Amulet.
Something else you could consider is maybe the Armored Kilt or enchanted Bracers to try and grab an additional effect. Probably opening up another can of worms.
But I'm not enchanting the assemblage as a whole. Only the mithral armored coat (light armor) will be enchanted, and worn over the non-magical mithril full plate.
As for the armor, the full plate is actually the non-negotiable part of the concept, for thematic reasons. The brawling property is very tasty gravy if I can get it.
The problem is your full plate will negate ALL of the properties of your armored coat INCLUDING THE ENCHANTMENT.
That's the thing about the game, you have to make choices, and certain doors opened, will close others.
I see no reason for a magic armored coat to cease functioning when combined with a nonmagical full plate considering the item description even says it can be worn over other armor.
You know looking at mithril I don't think it changes the armour catagory for anything other than the penalties associated with wearing the armor.

Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations.
Edit: Where does it say that Lazarx?
Well, the idea is Weapon Master Fighter would be +20 BAB + WT 5 + Gloves of Dueling +2 + 1 WF + 1 GWF + 8 Str + 2 Brawler + 5 Amulet of Mighty Fist -5 Power Attack= 39 Hit.
Damage is 1d3 + 8 Str + 2 WS + 2 GWS + 5 Amulet + 2 Brawler + 12 PA + 5 WT + 2 Gloves =1d3+ 38 damage.
Reminder that he Crit multiplier x3 auto confirming. X/day, he gets x4 Crit Multiplier.
Later maybe a full Build.
Sure, we could add other cool things like haste, etc but this is basics.
