John- Questions for the DM. You have any clue what it costs for Ironwood armor? The book prices don't make a damn bit of sense. The suggested price in MoTW for a +2 suit of Ironwood Full Plate is 130,000gp and change. Strip the +2 enchantment, and you're left with 126,000gps for a mundane suit of Ironwood. You could buy a +10 suit of mithril for that much.
Meanwhile, with the 14 levels of Druid JF's character has, he has access to a spell that turns metal into wood. (Forget the name, don't have my books on me right now.) A suit of masterwork metal armor costs what, a little over 3000gps? Two spells- he turns it into wood, then turns that wood into Ironwood. All he's got invested is a Permanancy on the Ironwood spell. Personally, I think 126,000gps for that is a bit insane.
