Given situations such as these, people will agree with my 'reasonable' interpretations most of the time if tested. If I were to say, 'Some of you will get prizes.' It would be fair to assume that not all of you wll, even though it would not be logically inconsistent if you all did. In this case, the or is impliclity an exclusive and it's just an idiosyncratic use of language. This is despite the fact that the logical def'n of 'or' would have no drothers with me doing exactly tha and still being truthful. In most contexts it would be completely reasonable to assume that this meant that I would not go both nights. So all power to the 25 pound platemailДЄhh, but psychology and linguistics are involved, not just logic.Дon't get me wrong, logic is great and all, but a fair amount of the stuff we say isn't necessarily logical.ДЇor example, if my friend asks me to come watch them perform in a concert and I say: My concern was that I missed some passage/ rule/ whatever, that explained why the presented items have the given weights. As I already said, it makes absolutely no sense why one item made primarily of metal has half the weight (longsword for instance) but the other (metallic armor) also made primarily from metal does not. Using common sense, it is best to go with the weights given by the example items. After all, why should I say all non-green-colored if I really meant all cars no matter the color? (no offense meant to drivers/ owners of green cars ) If I told you 'all non-green-colored cars are high quality products' you would probably (not only would but could as well) assume that all green colored cars are crappy. Why would you say non-armor and shields if you meant metallic armor as well?

They effectively say: all items except armor. It says non-armor items and shields weigh half as much.

The book on the other hand gives us the more information than just that. That wouldn't be logical at all, because you gave no more information than: 'mithral maces weigh half as much.'

I just wonder why the *named* mithral full plate aka 'Dwarven plate' is not the same as a mithral full plate.ДЄfter all, I know that I can just rerule it to my liking but I would like to be sure that there is no justified reason for the differences. Why should an armor be treated as one category lighter if it weighs just as much as a standard armor? Why does the longsword weigh half as much but the full plate not? Both are made primarily of metal. Now, I myself think that the rule from the DMG is not logical at all. If the armor only weighed 25 pounds it is much easier for him.

Give him a mace, a shield and some mundane, daily equipment and he is at his absolute maximum. The armor weighing 50 pounds consumes almost 50% of his total carrying capacity. It can make a difference if it weighs 50 or only 25 pounds. mithral armor weighs just as much as standard armor. So, shields and all items that are NOT armor weigh half as much.
