Mithral Barding Cost

[Grumiō Grumiōnis]

I am a halfling paladin, and my divine bond is a cheetah (size medium).

I would like to purchase mithral chain shirt barding. Per the rules, mithral armor adds 1000 gp to the cost of light armor, and barding for a medium mount costs twice as much as armor for a medium biped.

In which order do I apply these modifiers?
A: 2 * (1000 + 150) = 2300
B: 2 * 159 + 1000 = 1300

I seem to remember other threads about this. The whole thing never got resolved IIRC.

It's probably FAQ worth, in fact.

I don't think the rules answer your question.

I think I would adjust the cost for special materials by the weight listed in table 6-8. For a medium nonhumanoid creature, the weight is x1. So I would use 100x2+1000x1=1200

And the first post in that thread links to a half dozen other threads like it.

I am never going to get my Bardic Masterpieces FAQ, am I?

Don't worry, difficult and complex answers, like mithral barding one is, take much longer than simple ones like can you have two performances going oh at once. Or wait, did I get those two mixed up?
