Sep 16, 2010 17:06:53 Hello. I assume that the gear worn by enemies is taken into account in the treasures given out, however when looking through equipment of some of them...the Gith controller in the Red Chord, J'narr, is wearing Inix Shell Armor, which as far as I can tell, is the +4 minimum enhancement armor under scalemail (just not enchanted, somehow)...

Wouldn't this count as a level 16 treasure?

Sep 16, 2010 17:55:41 yep, I know as i posted inix shell armor on my own gith builds. Make it bone studded leather or something, it won't effect the AC of the Gith.

The inix shell scale was simply a descriptor for non-metal scale armor (see also: all the Dark Sun pregenerated characters) before the masterwork equivalence table was added.

In fact, the masterwork table is clever, but it really annoys me, because I wanted to use most of those materials for various armors.
