Can you have mithral leather armor?
This would not normally pertain to the Reals except I am setting up a character for a PBEM campain and would like to make sure to have as little armor incurring my spellcasting as possible. |

as someone else mentioned, there is twilight as a property which could be added to the armor as a +1 bonus (this gives an additional 10% off). Also, from the DMGII, there's the feycraft property if you could get fey to craft your mithril armor (this gives an additional 5% off). Feycraft can also be useful if you plan on have a mithril heavy shield. Also, as a sidenote, there is a spell which doubles the arcane spell failure of armor for use against enemy's who employ these types of options. |

I just looked in my copy of Underdark for Nightscale, but was unable to locate it. Could someone list the page number, please? |

Lol. Thanks for the correction. It is difficult to remember everything from every book while I am at work and do not have easy access to my books.  |

You may want to look at the twilight armor property. Sorry, but at this ungodly hour of the morning, I can't remember which book it is in. Either that, or just some plain old bracers of armor.

Mithral is metal. Leather is animal skin. |

Of course you can have mithril in a leather armor!
The problem is, there would not be enough mithril in the armor to make any real difference in weight or protection.
For flavor, it's absolutely possible. A studded leather armor with mithral studs would be cooler than The +125 Studded Leather Armor of Death and Most Certain Doom with iron studs. Almost, at least. |

I think it is also mentioned in Player's Handbook II. Yet another thing 3e core stole from 3e Realms.  |

I do not believe that you can have mithril leather armor. Mithril is a special material for metal armor and weapons. You should look into glass steel (I don't remember which book that is in though). A glass steel chain shirt would work I would think. |

no. the rules state it must be mostly metal armor. |
