I have a player who transferred his mithral scale to 5e. I made base it have base AC 15, no disadvantage on stealth, and Max dex 2.
Can someone with the DMG tell me if I scaled it correctly or not.
Thank you

A Mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes. If the armor normally impose disadvantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks or has a strength requirement, the Mithral version of the armor doesnt."

Damn. I also made mithral half the weight while it's the same weight as reg armor of same type. That has changed from pat editions. Hopefully don't need to make more changes when I get my copy

Yeah weird - it clearly says it is lighter but fails to offer up any adjustment.  50% might be a bit much though.  I was thinking 25%.  Also Elven chain is a thing on its own a medium chain shirt +1 that doesn't require proficiency - I might reduce the weight there even further, maybe 50% is appropriate here.  The rules don't list 'magical' versions of mithral armour but do state later on that DMs can jiggle and merge items without affecting game balance too much.  I don't think that's always true but some items like the Horn of Valhalla will be a DM's nightmare in their own right.
