Talk:Magically Powered Armor (3.5e Equipment)

First of all, how do you get a +13 AC with a Full Plate +3, the most it could have is 11 AC. Secondly, Full Plate Armor has a -8 check penalty to begin with, now your adding 3 times the thickness of plating, this thing would have close to a -16 check penalty just to start! Magic or not! Thirdly, if you can even cast arcane magic, who don't belong in this monstrosity! A 50% chance of spell failure is being nice especially when normal full plate is a 35%. If this suit is 3 times as heavy, the penalties should be the same, if not doubled. Also, the bull strength spell would only grant a +4 strength modifier, not a +8, although I do understand because just to move around in this anchor, one would need all the strength possible, especially since would weigh close to 175 pounds! Lastly, whoever wrote this fail must have taken the Barbarian Math Feat! The adamantine cost and armor build would cost 16,500 gold pieces, with the additional cost for enchantments of the +3 and the +8 in strength bonus is impossible since armor and weapons can have a MAX of a +10. Either way, this enchantment cost would be well over 100,000 gold pieces, putting the total cost to purchase this fail at +116,500 gold pieces or to build at a cost of 58,250 gold pieces and 4660 XP and would take almost 117 days, 1 day per every 1,000 base gold cost.

Well, I'm not that person, but I -will- edit it to try to balance it, because this is wholly overpowered. If anyone objects I'll return it to what it was, because this is going to be... serious renovation XD --50.131.86.52 18:54, 18 October 2013 (MDT)
