I play a fighter/rogue about to take his first level of dervish.

Is Armour of the unending hunt [CD] worth it? Or should I just get mithril breastplate.

Armour of the unending Hunt: 10900
Armour bonus: 7
ACP: -2
Makes the wearer immmune to fatigue and exhaustion.

+2 Mithril breastplate: 8200
Armour bonus: 7
ACP -1

Things to consider is that the mithril breastplate will allow me totumble at full speed on level earlier (not that far off due to dervish) and save me 2.5 grand, which can go towards my offensive power.

On the other hand, the armour of the unending hunt means I don't take any penalties if my dervish dance runs out. (lasts 5 rounds at level 7).

I'm not familiar with the armor of the unending hunt and don't have my books with me. Is it a breastplate as well?

The best, albeit most expensive, solution would be mithral armor of the unending hunt - if your DM would allow it (and, of course, assuming the AotUH is metal). I'm sure if that was an option you wouldn't be asking though :) How much cash do you have available?

I'd go with Armor of the unending hunt myself, if only to stop the over use of mithril.... its supposed to be rare! But, I'd probably recomend the mithril to you. The mithril armor is better suited to be upgrade in the future, and the benefits provided by the AotUH are small. How often does fatigue or exhaustion come up in your games?

Armor of the Unending Hunt is already mithral chainmail.

If you plan on dervish dancing a lot, I'd say it's worth it. If you plan on saving it, a mithral breastplate is probably worth it instead.
