Re: Mud?!
I don't know what the rules say, but off-handedly, as an obnoxious DM, I would say that if you're wearing mud armor and somebody casts Transmute Mud to Rock, there's some good news and some bad news.
The good news is: Your armor bonus just went way up!
The bad news is: You can't move.

Re: Mud?!
Good news is, we have stats for Stone Plate, and they're over in Races of, wouldincha know it, Stone. Turns out some barmy Dwarf came up with the brilliant idea of making armor out of the stuff. Your Armor bonus increases by +5.
Bad news is your max dex has just dropped to +1. Also, you probably aren't proficient, which is bad what with the -7 Armor Check Penalty.
Slightly better news is that you now have permanent armor that doesn't need to be reapplied.
Dwarves, they can make armor out of anything, am I right?Last edited by Seclora; 2014-07-29 at 11:57 PM.

I have been suddenly forced to move to a new home. Expect shaky contributions for the next week or two while I deal with this process. Thank you for your patience!
Why yes, stalwart stranger, I did miss the fact that there was a slightly-too-small character limit on user names before I activated my account.

Re: Mud?!
Actually... heh. Reading the description of http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Mud_armor, it sounds like it is just mud that is slathered on the body and allowed to dry. As you may or may not know, living bodies flex and bend when they move. Encasing them in a thick layer of stone that allows no movement of muscles and joints, and then turning it to stone... that sounds like a great way to lock up someone. I would happily use a villain who uses that to make living "statues" of their defeated foes.
I would grant an AC increase, but also immobility.
This assumes you cast it on a foe. If you CAREFULLY placed the mud on yourself and cast the spell, and you accounted for needing straps and whatnot to keep it in place, and you were capable of using heavy armor, I would permit it as some sort of stone plate from an appropriate sourcebook like Races of Stone.I use my Avatar at work as a Sepia Snake Sigil. You put it somewhere where the other players will inevitably find it and focus on it, requiring them to pass it off to another. If you manage not to focus on it, you don't have to take it.
I bet you just focused on it, didn't you?

See, I want to think that the Dwarf King actually carries the chiseled-in-stone national constitution into battle strapped to his arm as a shield, but I get the feeling that's not what you meant.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Mud?!
It's a shame how few artists actually draw dwarven ladies with their authentic dwarven beards. Friggin' human hegemony.
Solid art, though.I have been suddenly forced to move to a new home. Expect shaky contributions for the next week or two while I deal with this process. Thank you for your patience!
