Ive got a size large PC of unusual shape wearing a magic mithral chain shirt
how does the price increases work just the chain shirt, the mithral cost as well, what about the enchantment cost?

Enchantment cost remains the same regardless of the size of the armour.

Mithral cost is a little trickier, because it also includes the masterwork cost. So for larger armour, mithral cost increases as well, but not its masterwork component.

So the quick and dirty solution would be to multiply the cost of using mithral by X, then subtracting (x-1)*150gp from that amount. The alternative is to first subtract 150gp, multiply that value by the multiplier, then add back the 150gp.

So a mithral chainshirt for a large centaur (say) would cost (1100x4)-(150x3) or 4400-450 = 3950gp. Alternatively, [(1100-150)x4]+150 = 3950gp.

After that, enchant costs accrue as per normal. :smallsmile:

Look for the table in the Armor section under ARMOR FOR UNUSUAL CREATURES.

Enchantment's cost is unchanged.
