I'm hoping there's a way to get fullplate to count as light armor for a character I'm working on. It's level 10 in a mythic campaign, so I feel like there should be a way, I'm just not sure how. I'm playing an angelkin aasimar, and am going to take the outsider wings feat, so I'd like as good of a fly speed as possible.

No third party stuff allowed.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, playing a straight paladin.

There's always good old Mithril (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/special-materials#TOC-Mithral). Treats Armor as one category lighter.
This only gets you to Medium>Light though.


Also, why does your pony Avatar have Elesh Norn headgear, and why the bone-wings?

Depending on your class you could find a way to move easily in armor, the fighter gets to do it for free thanks to armor mastery at level 3( for medium at least) and Heavy armor at 7 ( I think)
The Oracle with the "Lame" Curse gets to never have their speed reduced by armor at level 10, but with a 10 foot penalty to their land speed.
Their might be some prestige classes that do this too, but I dont know.

If you make your heavy armor out of Mithral it will be considered medium, but it won't speed you up any. The armor master trait will further reduce your Armor check penalty. Which could be good for flying as well.

You may consider Mithral Fullplate of Speed (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-armor/specific-magic-armor/mithral-full-plate-of-speed) with that trait your Armor check penalty would only be -2, and you could move pretty fast for 10 rounds a day.

It's an OC of mine. Basically, imagine Sarah Kerrigan combined with Elesh Norn.

Eh, not fond of the Mithral full plate of speed personally.

Guess I'll stick with medium-->Light.
