Greco 12-06-07, 06:48 AM	Yes penalties stack, but you take the lowest dex modifier between the two.
Lord_Ao 12-06-07, 04:48 PM	cheers mate, i thought so

If you had a mithral breastplate would the armour check penalty be reduced by 1 because its masterwork and then another 3 because its mithral for a total reduction of 4, or would the mithral just overpower the masterwork reducing it by just 3?
