Which precious material can be used for which armour?

[NemoNoName]

Rules on using precious materials for armour say:

Quote:

Suits of armor made of precious materials are more expensive and sometimes grant special effects. You can make leather armor out of dragonhide, wooden armor out of darkwood, and metal armor out of any precious materials except for darkwood.

To my reading, this means:

Dragonhide : any Light, Medium, Heavy armour except Padded
==
Darkwood : no armour
==
Cold Iron / Silver / Orichalcum / Adamantine / Mithral : Chain Shirt, all Medium except Hide, all Heavy

This leaves Studded Leather a bit weirdly out.

Also, to be clear, Plate armour can be made out of Dragonhide? Thus enabling Druids to wear it?

It looks like you've got it right, except that studded leather should be either leather or metal rather than just not be able to be made of anything special.

In fact, looking at the description of studded leather in the book it says "This leather armor.." so I'd lean towards letting it be made of dragonhide.
