All About Armor ►

[Head Moderator]

CRAFTING: You must have Artisan Crafting (armorsmithing) to craft armor and shields. (Leatherworking) to make leather & hide armor, and (Tailor/Seamstress) allows you to make spidersilk, leather or other cloth armor. (Woodworking) would allow you to craft wooden shields. Crafting follows the same rules as elsewhere, 1CP per 500gp cost (Lowest 1CP) and you pay 1/4 of the cost to craft.

Name of Armor [Defense] Cost

Defense is used when you are attacked. It takes away from the attack upon you, such as if you are attacked for 10hp and you have +5 armor, you only take 5hp against you.

Be aware of initiative penalties, when you are asked to roll initiative any time you are wearing your armor, you must take that penalty.

Defense Cap is how much total defense including EVERYTHING except special skills that give you defense you are allowed to have. Heavy thick armor is far more defensive than light, so that is why the cap rises with the heavier armor gets.

Max Quickness is the most allowed Quickness Trait Points you can have from any means including spells, loot, and earned trait points to use that armor. People who are wearing heavy armor such as full plate aren't going to be near as fast as those wearing thin leathers.

DESCRIPTIONS

LIGHT

Armored Robe: This nonmagical robe is designed to provide arcane spellcasters slight protection against harm without interfering too much in their spellcasting. It is essentially an ordinary wizard’s robe with leather strips sewn within the lining of the fabric. The arms of the robe are unarmored, leaving the arms of the wearer free for somatic gestures.

Padded or Quilted Armor: Padded armor features quilted layers of cloth and batting. It gets hot quickly, and can become fouled with sweat, grime, lice, and fleas.

Elderbark: The hard bark of elderly trees is soaked in a cauldron of special hardening, flexing chemicals once known only to the elves. The hard yet flexible bark is then layered over light cloth, thin hides or thin leather and tied with cording to provide a light armor even druids can wear. Elderbark provides torso, arm and leg protection

Leather: The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are made of leather that has been stiffened by boiling in oil. The rest of the armor is made of softer and more flexible leather.

Padded Elven Leafweave: Made from lacquered leaves by elven crafters, this armor is light, durable, and extremely flexible.

Bark or Wooden: This strangely thin, yet durable armor is typically made from the bark of an oak or yew tree, though armor made from other trees is not uncommon.

Elven Leafweave Leather: As the name suggests, leafweave armor is made from forest leaves, which are then treated with a special alchemical process that makes them as tough and flexible as leather.

Bondleaf Wrap: Bondleaf wraps are each crafted from a single enormous leaf found on magical trees. A bondleaf wrap is inactive until worn for 24 hours. During this time, it grows into the skin, drawing water and nutrients from its host. Afterward, as a normal action, you can command it to wrap around your body.

Studded Leather: This armor is made from tough but flexible leather (not hardened leather, as with normal leather armor) reinforced with close-set metal rivets.

Hide Shirt: Usually made from animal hide and often incorporating giant lizard scales over a shirt of interwoven cords, these chest and shoulder coverings protect without restricting mobility.

Knotswork Armor: Knotswork armor is crafted by weaving natural fibers into strong cabling which is then woven and strategically knotted into a light and flexible shirt and leggings that protect the torso, legs and arms.

Chain Shirt: A chain shirt protects your torso while leaving your limbs free and mobile. It includes a layer of quilted fabric worn underneath to prevent chafing and to cushion the impact of blows. A chain shirt comes with a steel cap.

Plated Leather: This thick leather armor is reinforced with metal plates. The plates cover only large areas of the body, leaving the joints covered only by leather. Plated leather has enough metal components to be vulnerable to the rust monster’s rust ability and similar attacks.

Hauberk: A hauberk is a one-piece set of chain armor. It is similar to a chain shirt, except that it hangs lower, to just below the knee. Most hauberks have a hood attached that protects the wearer’s head.

Spidersilk: This exotic armor feels light and soft to wear, yet is strong and resilient. It is made from specially treated aranea or drider silk.

Spiderweave: Spiderweave is silver spidersilk that has been more thickly woven giving just a bit more protection.

Mithralweave: This cloth based armor is made of woven threads of mithral making it light, yet strong.

Leafweave Hide: Treated and lacquered leaves as leafweave, but woven to be thicker and sturdier.

Moon-Ivy: Moon-ivy armor is a close-fitting bodysuit that grows every night and dies at the end of every day. You put on a wreathlike choker before going to sleep. Overnight, a tight but flexible bodysuit of ivy grows over your body. When you awaken, you are wearing a tough, fibrous light armor. Removing the choker causes the moon-ivy armor to wither in 5 rounds.

MEDIUM

Palebone Armor: Palebone starts with a thin cloth or tanned skin backing and is reinforced by the boiled and bleached white bones of dead creatures. Palebone protects the torso only and is otherwise sleeveless.

Bone Mail: An unusual twist in chainmail design, the bone armor has become the pride of many barbarians. Over the course of their adventuring, many of these warriors take to collecting the bones of their hunting targets. Once they have collected enough bones, they can be crafted into an ornamental suit of bone mail.

Hide: This armor is prepared from multiple layers of leather and animal hides. It is stiff and hard to move in. Druids, who wear only nonmetallic armor, favor hide.

Scale Mail: This armor consists of a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. The suit includes gauntlets.

Brigandine: This intricate set of brigandine armor is made from the scales of the various powerful creatures. Some of the more obscure types of this armor are patterned in mysterious and often eye-catching designs.

Ringmail: Large metal rings cover a thick suit of leather armor, providing good flexibility and protection.

Chainmail: This armor is made of interlocking metal rings. It includes a layer of quilted fabric worn underneath to prevent chafing and to cushion the impact of blows. Several layers of mail are hung over vital areas. Most of the armor's weight hangs from the shoulders, making chainmail uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. The suit includes gauntlets.

Breastplate: A breastplate covers your front and your back. It comes with a helmet and greaves (plates to cover your lower legs). A light suit or skirt of studded leather beneath the breastplate protects your limbs without restricting movement much.

Chitin Armor: One of the most bizarre looking of all the armor types, chitin armor is constructed from the shells of giant vermin or similar creatures. Chitin is flexible and can be rather comfortable to wear, especially when the inner surfaces are polished and fitted with padding.

Shell: This armor is created out of specially treated tortoise shells and more exotic sea life. The armor-making process softens the shells, making them far more pliable and likely to bend instead of shatter when struck. Shell armor includes a breastplate, shoulder guards, and even gauntlets created from smaller and smaller shells.

Shock Shell: This slightly grotesque approximation of plate mail is made from the carapace and exoskeleton of dead creatures. Although not as sturdy as metal, shock shell is fairly light, and proves to be quite effective in a fight. Most people would find the designs rather unsightly.

Traveler's Plate: This light plate armor that makes traveling long distances easier on the wearer.

Heraldic Coin Armor: This unique set of armor is crafted from the various types of coins found in the realms. Everything from copper to the platinum has been used to create intricate patterns, including family crests in some instances. This armor is highly prized by war captains and nobles as a symbol of their status.

Coral: Commonly worn by warriors of seafaring races, such as merfolk and tritons, coral armor is not so much created as grown. Exotic and rare corals are shaped over time to create armor for a specific person. Coral armor covers only the top half of the wearer—breastplate and bracers.

HEAVY

Dendritic: Dwarf armorsmiths grow dendritic armor from seed crystals deep underground; dendritic armor never reaches the smith’s fire. Each suit of dendritic armor is tailored for a specific wearer. This superb armor is socketed rather than riveted together, leaving almost no gaps or chinks. It protects better than full
plate armor, but is also heavier and more cumbersome. Dendritic armor constantly grinds crystal flecks off, and regrows itself to its original shape. Anyone
tracking a person wearing dendritic armor finds a fine trail of crystals left behind. To remove dendritic armor, you must break your way out. As long as you leave at least 5 pounds of dendritic armor somewhere on your body, the armor grows back in 8 hours.

Dwarven Stone: Found almost exclusively among dwarven kingdoms, this extremely rare armor is created from thin sheets of a specially treated stone resembling marble. Dwarven stone armor is very heavy and more ornamental than practical; consequently it is the dress uniform for many dwarven defenders. It provides impressive protection, as long as the person wearing it does not plan on moving very fast. Dwarven stone armor includes greaves and helmet, but not gauntlets.

Stonemail: This armor is made of interlocking stone plates, cunningly carved for both thinness and strength. A layer of cured hide underneath the stone prevents chafing and cushions the impact of blows. Several layers of stone plates hang over vital areas, and most of the armor's weight hangs from the shoulders. The suit includes hide gauntlets with tiny stone plates sewn onto them.

Splint Mail: First developed by the dwarves, splint mail consists of vertical strips of metal bound to a thick layer of leather and chainmail. Because it is so heavy and ponderous, few other than dwarves wear it in battle. While it lacks the protective elements of plate, it is scale armor’s equal. More important, its rigid construction allows it to absorb some portion of an enemy’s blows.

Banded Mail: Banded mail consists of a suit of chainmail reinforced with layers of metal plates arranged in strips along the suit’s midsection. Banded mail offers the same level of protection as chainmail while proving lighter and more flexible. A warrior in banded mail moves as quickly as one in leather armor.

Half-Plate: This armor is a combination of chainmail with metal plates (breastplate, epaulettes, elbow guards, gauntlets, tassels, and greaves) covering vital areas. Buckles and straps hold the whole suit together and distribute the weight, but the armor still hangs more loosely than full plate. The suit includes gauntlets.

Full Plate: Though the dwarves are loath to admit it, human smiths crafted the first suits of full plate for the use of mounted knights. Of course, the dwarves are quick to add, they did perfect those initial, flawed designs. Among all the kinds of heavy armor, full plate offers unmatched protection and flexibility.

Heavy Battle Plate: Forged for the strongest of warriors, heavy battle plate armor is simply a heavily reinforced suit of full plate armor.

SHIELDS

Buckler: This small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a bow or crossbow while carrying it. You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon.

Dueling Cloak:

Light Shield, Wooden or Steel: You strap a shield to your forearm and grip it with your hand. A light shield's weight lets you carry other items in that hand, although you cannot use weapons with it.

Heavy Shield, Wooden or Steel: You strap a shield to your forearm and grip it with your hand. A heavy shield is so heavy that you can't use your shield hand for anything else. Wooden or steel shields offer the same basic protection, though they respond differently to special attacks.

Tower Shield: This massive wooden shield is nearly as tall as you are.

Spiked Shield: Although a shield is usually a defensive item, a spiked shield turns the tables on attackers because of the long spikes and blades attached to it. While too awkward to use as a weapon, a spiked shield provides added protection against enemies that attempt to grab you, because the spikes and barbs built into it cut into them.

DEFENSIVE ITEM CREATION
These defensive items can be made to give you added defense according to the lists below. It is perfectly acceptable to purchase armor above and assume it comes with helmets, coifs, gorgets and the like if applicable but if you wish to specifically boost individual pieces of armor, this is where you do that.

It is stated whether the items give mundane, or magical defense. Mundane defense blocks mundane attacks like sword strikes, bludgeoning, and even fireballs and the like. Sometimes attacks are done in such a way that only magical defense counts, such as attacks that bypass mundane armor like a ghost's incorporeal attack.

If someone wishes to bump their items to max, you just subtract what they have from what they want, such as someone with a +2 Amulet who wants the max allowed, +7. You'd subtract the cost of +7 from the cost of +2 and do the same with the CP. Prices DO get higher the more defense you want an on item.

Also note that you can further enchant these items with ONE enchantment. These are not loot pieces, these are simple defensive pieces so they aren't going to have a lot of special traits and enchantments like a fancy loot piece you find on quests. So, a +5 DEF Cloak could have a stealth enchantment added, or a helmet could have an enchantment to understand languages, or something could boost Spot.

Remember, there are defense caps! Light Armor = 20, Medium Armor = 30, Heavy Armor = 40.

Cost to Buyer | Cost to Crafter | CP Cost

--Amulet or Brooch (neck) There are a couple types of amulets or brooches.

Brooch of Natural Armor
This brooch magically hardens your own natural skin or scales, giving you a boost to mundane defense only from your hardened skin. It can be worn with any armor, or unarmored. MAX DEF +5
+1 | 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
+2 | 4,000gp | 1,000gp | 8CP
+3 | 6,000gp | 1,500gp | 12CP
+4 | 8,000gp | 2,000gp | 16CP
+5 | 10,000gp | 2,500gp | 20CP

Amulet of Armor This gives both magical and mundane defense. MAX DEF +7
+1 | 3500gp | 875gp | 7CP

+3 | 7500gp | 1875gp | 15CP
+4 | 9500gp | 2375gp | 19CP
+5 | 11,500gp | 2875gp | 23CP
+6 | 13,500gp | 3375gp | 27CP
+7 | 15,500gp | 3875gp | 31CP
[Slot: Neck]
[Craft Magic Item: Jewelry]

--Defensive Items
CMI Crafters: If someone wishes you to provide magical defense for any of these items, the costs are still the same. So if they bring you a +3 Helmet, you may enchant it with magical defense at the +3 cost listed.

If you are purchasing from the Emporium, simply double the cost to make your item both magical and mundane, so for instance if you were buying a +5 Helmet and want it magical AND mundane, it would cost 20,000gp.

Each item has a MAX DEF that it is allowed to be boosted to, please be sure to abide by these! The chart for all items is below the list of items and their Max Defenses.

Helmet, Coif (head) MAX DEF +5
[Artisan: Armorsmithing]

Gorget (neck) MAX DEF +3

Bracers, Pauldron or Vambraces (arm) MAX DEF +7

---One time "Fix" for Ill-Fitting Armor--

Form Fitting 500gp | Can not be crafted.
[One time Enchantment, no enchantment points used]
This allows you to refit armor that is not your size, such as giant's armor. Form fitting armor flexes perfectly in time with your own body. The armor appears to flex and take the form of the body held underneath. This can be applied to any type of armor, causing it to refit to your body, unless the description of the loot particularly says it cannot be resized.

---

READY-MADE ARMORS
These armors cannot be crafted, you must purchase them at the stated price from the Emporium. If there are open enchantment points, you may have a crafter add enchantments, but that is all.

Armor of the Construct [Heavy Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
As you put on the armor your body turns to iron and stone, giving you the body of a golem with a defense of +35. This armor grants construct immunities as it fuses with your body, transforming you into living armor. You gain low-light vision, darkvision out to 60 ft., immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), immunity to sleep effects, paralysis, disease, negative energy. You may be raised and resurrected as normal, and retain normal effects when dropping below 0 hp. You cannot benefit from positive energy healing, you must be repaired in some way. You cannot gain any other defensive boosts while wearing this armor, except from skills, class/profession bonuses and a buckler or shield. All heavy armor cap and penalties apply.
[36,000gp]

Armor of the Deep [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼
This +19 breastplate is decorated with a wave and fish motif and often has tiny fins and scales worked into the design. Although the breastplate remains as heavy and bulky as normal, the wearer of armor of the deep is treated as unarmored for purposes of Swim checks. The wearer can breathe underwater and can converse with any water-breathing creature with a language.
[18,000gp]

Backbreaker Mail [Heavy Armor] ☼ ☼
This spiked splint mail (+31 DEF) is fashioned from hacked-off chunks of tanned hide and held together by humanoid spines. Used mainly by orcs, these sets of armor are seen as a status symbol, and are adorned with trophies from slain foes. The vertebrae of the spines adorning the backbreaker mail are sharpened, acting as armor spikes, giving it the "Rending" enhancement.
[21,000gp]

Blended Quartz Breastplate [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼
This rare, naturally occurring blend of iron and quartz is cumbersome and difficult
to work, available only as medium armor, though due to their weight they have the penalties for intiative and QCK cap for HEAVY armor. The benefit of this armor, though is that it is a surprisingly good conduit of magical energy, so wearing this breastplate grants you +19 DEF, but no spell penalties for casting magic, regged or non-regged.
[45,000gp]

Daystar Half-Plate [Heavy Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This glowing +33 DEF half-plate is decorated with various images of the sun and depictions of nature. At will, the wearer can command the armor to shine with a daylight spell for 10 minutes at a time. Once per day, the wearer can command it to burst forth with a globe of searing radiance in a radius of 30 feet, blinding all who fail an Endurance Save of DC20 for 1d3 rounds as well as doing 2d10 damage to creatures weak to sunlight, and undead creatures. The ultraviolet light generated by the spell deals damage to fungi, mold, oozes, and slimes just as if they were undead creatures. The sunburst is centered on the wearer and the wearer is immune to its effects, but any allies caught in the radius are not immune and if they do not take action to cover their eyes (or are themselves weak to sunlight) they will be blinded and take damage as well.
[18,000gp]

Demon Armor [Heavy Armor] ☼ ☼
This plate armor is fashioned to make the wearer appear to be a demon. The helmet is shaped to look like a horned demon head, and its wearer looks out of the open, tooth-filled mouth. This +34 DEF full plate allows the wearer to make claw attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage each hand (you do not need dual wield to use this). The “claws” are built into the armor’s vambraces and gauntlets. Non-evil characters that wear this armor cannot be healed by any means until they've removed the armor, including potions.

Dryad Chainmail [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼
(Devout Class Special - No Evil, No Chaotic)
This suit of +18 armor feels like mithral chainmail to the touch, but its minuscule rings are a pale green color that turn brighter when exposed to the sun. If you are chaotic, dryad's chainmail functions simply as mithral chainmail while you wear it. Evil characters cannot wear this armor. It is considered light armor with no init penalty, and no QCK cap, but your max defense is +30. If you are of the Devout Class, a suit of dryad chainmail painlessly extends tiny green roots into your skin when you don it. This effect grants you up to 10 points of self-healing each combat as long as you are in brighter than shadowy illumination.
Lore: The original suit of dryad chainmail was created by a dryad cleric for her lover, an elf hero who kept the surrounding woodlands safe. Upon the elf’s death, the armor was consecrated to various woodland deities, whose followers duplicated it for several of their chosen heroes (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
[32,000gp]

Equestrian Armor [Heavy Armor] ☼
Shined to a mirror finish, this suit of +34 DEF full plate is decorated with gold inlay. When the wearer is mounted, the plates of the armor expand and reposition to protect the wearer's mount. In this form, the armor becomes a suit of +24 DEF banded mail for the wearer and a suit of +10 DEF barding worn by the mount. A second move action merges it back into +34 full plate. Equestrian plate cannot transform and protect a mount more than one size larger than its wearer or a creature that cannot wear barding. It can create exotic barding, however, such as for a griffon or dragon.
[30,000gp]

Folding Plate [Heavy Armor][Neck and Armor Slots] ☼
This item normally looks like a heavy steel brooch or cloak clasp, often depicting a heavy helm or sturdy shield. On command, the brooch transforms in a clatter of metallic plates and panels to instantly cover the wearer in a complete suit of +34 DEF full plate, with the design of the brooch displayed on the armor's breastplate. The same command word causes the armor to transform into the brooch. The brooch only transforms if the wearer's armor slot is unoccupied, thus it won't work if the wearer is already armored. The brooch associated with this armor weighs less than a pound and occupies the neck slot when in this form.
[18,500gp]

Ghoul Shell Armor [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
This suit of +15 DEF hide armor is made of shaped and fitted pieces of ghoul hide. Wearing this armor causes you to be immune to paralyzation, but when wearing this you always take a -5 to all Charisma-based skills.
[14,000gp]

Hawkfeather Armor [Light Armor] ☼ ☼
This suit of armor is covered by a layer of gigantic golden feathers that seem to shimmer in even the dimmest light. While wearing this +9 DEF studded leather armor, you gain a +5 bonus on Spot checks. In addition, three times per day, you can cause the armor to sprout wings, allowing you to fly at a speed of 60 feet (good maneuver-
ability) for up to 3 rounds in combat, or 15 minutes outside of combat.
[8,000gp]

Hellwasp Corset [Light Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This studded leather armor (+9 DEF) is lavishly adorned with a bound swarm of hellwasps. Once ranking among the most spectacular pieces of clothing, the discomfort caused during the creation of this corset is as legendary as the protection it offers. Not only giving defense, but this corset prevents the first 15 points of damage the wearer takes each day (resetting at midnight). Once the wasps have prevented 15 points of damage for the day, they angrily animate and swarm around the wearer, and the wearer must make a DC18 Endurance save or gain the nauseated condition for 1 round. After 1 round the swarm returns to the corset and goes dormant. The swarm cannot be targeted separately from the armor and cannot be killed unless the armor is destroyed (not just broken.)
[23,000gp]

Lantern Shield ☼ ☼
A lantern shield (+5 DEF) is a bulky and heavy piece of steel designed to include a number of items an adventurer might find useful, but can’t conveniently carry if using a shield. Most notably it has a bullseye lantern hooked to the front (which is automatically broken if the shield is sundered). It also has small blades and barbs coming off it it making it spiked. It has clips on the inside that can easily hold a map. It also has a slot at the top that can hold a rod (such as a sunrod) or a wand.
[6,000gp]

Lucky Banded Mail [Heavy Armor] ☼ ☼
Ten 100-gp gems adorn this (+32 DEF) banded mail. Once per week, the armor allows its wearer to require that a strike roll made against him be rerolled. He must take whatever consequences come from the second roll. The wearer's player must decide whether to have the strike roll rerolled BEFORE damage is rolled.
[20,000gp]

Mithralmist Shirt [Light Armor] ☼ ☼
This delicate-looking chain shirt is forged from a silver-white mithral alloy that gleams like starlight. Once per day, you can activate this +11 DEF mithral shirt
to fill your space with a billowing silver mist. This gleaming fog grants you concealment against attack but does not interfere with your vision. The mist lasts for 1 round, and it remains in the space where you activated the effect (it doesn’t move with you if you leave that space). This concealment grants you a +3 to your DDC for that one round it is used as long as you do not move that round.
[12,000gp]

Serpent Armor [Light Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This suit of +6 DEF armor looks to have been made from the deep green scales of some giant snake. A serpentine motif gives the armor’s gauntlets the appearance of fanged reptilian heads. Its belt looks like a coiled snake, and a gemlike slitted eye stares out from the gorget. This armor gives you a +3 to Escape Checks, and also when worn gives you immunity to common poisons.
[17,000gp]

Shield of Mercy [Shield] ☼
This +2 light steel shield is finely crafted and engraved with the image of a holy warrior healing a wounded beggar. It grants someone with Healing Affinity an extra 5 healing points per gemstone rank of the user.
[5,000gp]

Shield of the Severed Hand [Shield] ☼ ☼
This +3 DEF heavy wooden shield is emblazoned with a gory handprint and decorated with bloody symbols. The bloody marks appear fresh and wet. This gory item is favored by orcs for its shock value to enemies, as well as for its special properties. A shield of the severed hand functions normally if you are chaotic evil, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil. Once per combat, when attacked while holding this shield, you may immediately attempt a shield bash, if they fail a DC15 Endurance they are knocked out for one round.
[12,000gp]

Skeleton Armor [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This +15 DEF bone armor is prepared from the remains of an animated skeleton, this armor covers the upper body with a white, riblike structure that resembles bleached
bones. Large skulls serve as epaulets. It grants damage reduction of 5/bludgeoning when it is worn.
[35,000gp]

Vampire Hide Armor [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This +15 DEF armor is prepared from a single layer of vampire skin and decorated with flanges and spikes. A gaunt, skull-like face with bat wings at the temples decorates the chestpiece. This grants you damage reduction of 5/silver.
[35,000gp]

Zombie Hide Armor [Medium Armor] ☼ ☼ ☼
This armor is prepared from a single layer of pieced and stitched zombie skin. Sections of the flesh appear rotted and torn. Though the armor sports various holes and rents, these imperfections in no way compromise its integrity. This grants you damage reduction of 5/slashing.
[35,000gp]

AUGMENT CRYSTALS
These crystals cannot be crafted. You may only ever have ONE augment crystal on your armor, and one on your shield. The unique thing about augment crystals are that you may buy as many as you like, and trade them out as they are needed. It takes a round of combat to switch out an augment crystal with another. Augment crystals are placed inside a special clasp made for your shield or armor. Augment crystals are their own special magical item, they are not counted as innate to your shield or armor, in other words for instance if you were to drop your shield with an augment crystal into Fizzwinken's machine, it would count as two items - the shield and the augment crystal.

All augment crystals cost a flat 15,000gp unless otherwise stated.

SPECIALTY MATERIALS for ARMORSMITHS
These items can be used for ARMOR or SHIELDS. It is marked very clearly if it can be used for shields, most are for armor only.

For crafting or simply purchasing items with these materials, you pay full price for the material for each item you wish to make. There is no discount for crafters for special materials.

Abysium 4,000gp + Cost of Armor
This glowing, blue-green substance can be a source of great energy. It also causes those who spend extended amounts of time near it to grow ill and die, making it only useful for those with Poison/Venom Immunity. Abysium functions as steel when used for weapons and armor, but those who carry or wear abysium arms or armor become sickened for as long as the gear is carried or worn without Poison Immunity. Weapons and armor made from abysium glow with an intensity equal to that of a candle. Abysium weapons are naturally "venomous".
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Adamantine 4,000gp + Cost of Armor
This ultrahard glossy black metal adds strength to your suit of armor, causing it to be unable to be sundered (with Skill: Sunder) except by adamantine. It is heavier than other materials though, and causes a light suit of armor to be considered medium (-5 Init, Armor Cap 30, Max QCK 12) and a medium suit of armor to be considered heavy (-10 init, Armor Cap 40, Max QCK 8). A heavy suit of armor suffers an additional -5 to init (-15 to Init). It is traditionally a dwarven used material.

Arandur 10,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
This metal is silver-blue with green shine; gnome material; mixed with blood of red or blue dragon. Armors or shields of this weapon give an extra +5 DEF against cold, fire and electricity attacks.

Astral Driftmetal 15,000gp + Cost of Armor
This extraordinarily rare mineral is mined from islands of matter floating in the Astral Plane. It is very similar to iron but has a single remarkable feature: armor crafted from astral driftmetal is fully effective against magical attacks, as if it were made of force. Astral driftmetal is not malleable enough to be worked into chainmail or scale mail; only a breastplate, or any form of heavy armor can be made from it.

Aurorum 5,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
This metal restores itself if it is sundered within one round of combat, and can be used on armor or shields.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Blueice 14,000gp + Cost of Armor
Weighs half as much as metal and retains a freezing temperature. Must have cold immunity to wear. Armor is considered one level lower as far as initiative penalties and max quickness is concerned, so if you use it for heavy armor, your armor is considered "medium". Medium armor is considered "light". Your defense cap does not change, so medium armor still caps at 30, heavy armor still caps at 40. So if you make a breastplate out of blueice which is naturally medium, you have defense cap of 30, but no init penalty and normal quickness cap of 16.

Bone 250gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Bone can be used in place of wood and steel in armor and shields. Other animal-based materials like horn, shell, and ivory also use the rules for bone armor. Studded leather, scale mail, breastplates, and wooden shields can all be constructed using bone. Bone either replaces the metal components of the armor, or in the case of wooden shields, large pieces of bone or shell replace the wood.

Bronze 300gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Before the advent of iron and steel, bronze ruled the world. This easily worked metal can be used in place of steel for both weapons and armor.

Copper-Plated 5,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Copper-plated armor and shields only take half damage from acid attacks meant to destroy the armor or shield. Armor composed primarily of metal that is plated in copper confers to its wearer +5 DEF against Acid. Copper-plated armor or shields render the wearer more vulnerable to electricity attacks, however, granting any attack against the wearer that deals electricity damage a +1 bonus to strike.

Darkwood 2,000gp + Cost of Shield
Steel shields can be made of darkwood, but retain the bonus. So a +2 DEF Steel Shield can be made of darkwood instead, and be +2 DEF. They weigh less than steel and is a good alternative to druid types who do not wish to use metal but wish the bonus.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Deadwood 5,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
In the doldrums of the negative energy plane, rare fragments of life (or unlife) make their home. Even plant life attempted to place a foothold there, but its presence quickly was corrupted into new and unwholesome form. Deadwood, as it was called, is the un-living flora which grows in the quieter parts of the negative energy plane, drawing energy from the victims which perish there. Appearing as gnarled long-dead wood, it is actually living, in the same sense that zombies still "live". Deadwood lays dormant for long periods of time, growing only during the rare times it can feast on the dying energies of other beings passing by and perishing. Deadwood forests would grow in locations of mass slaughter and bloodshed within the negative energy plane, clung onto the few chunks of stone and metal which drift in that endless void.

Armor and shields can be made with deadwood. Such armor has heavy scarring and rough bark. The armor produces a constant desecrate effect. The effect is the same regardless of armor or shield type. Armor made of deadwood worn by an undead creature gives them a +5 bonus to any attempts to turn or rebuke them.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Chronomite 10,000gp + Cost of Armor
This dull, coppery substance warps time around it, making things seem to speed up or slow down. A suit of light chronomite armor grants a +5 bonus on Initiative, medium armor removes the initiative penalty, and heavy armor only has a -5 initiative penalty. Chronomite is only used for metal based armors, and does not work for shields.

Dreamstone 15,000gp + Cost of Armor
Dreamstone looks almost like a pale green crystal to the untrained eye, but can be worked as iron despite its appearance. Dreamstone is lighter than iron, yet just as strong. More importantly, dreamstone is strangely resistant to magic. Armor made of dreamstone gains a +2 bonus on any saving throw made against a spell or spell-like attack. Dreamstone shields do not give the bonus to saves, but you can still make a shield out of dreamstone.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Duskwood 3,000gp + Cost of Armor
This is a naturally dark wood used for Breastplates Only, duskwood allows breastplate armor to have no initiative penalty.

Eel Hide 6,000gp + Cost of Armor
This supple material offers as much protection as leather, but is more flexible and resistant to electricity, giving an extra +5 DEF against eletricity. Leather, hide, or studded leather armor can be produced with eel hide.

Elukian Clay 3,000 + Cost of Armor or Shield
Although barely malleable in its natural state, this rough, gray stone can be shaped into in a process similar to sculpting. Also known as sea-stone, elukian clay is formed in part by seepage from the Elemental Plane of Water. It has a strong affinity to water, so those traveling in or over large bodies of water value it greatly. Items made from elukian clay do not hinder you at all while underwater, and no checks are needed to combat in elukian clay while in water.

Elysian Bronze 14,000gp + Cost of Armor
First crafted by the ancients and bestowed as gifts to monster-slaying heroes among the lesser races, Elysian bronze retains the brazen coloration of its namesake but is as hard as steel. Armor made of Elysian bronze protects its wearer against the natural weapons or unarmed attacks of magical beasts and monstrous humanoids, providing damage reduction (1/— for light armor, 2/— for medium armor, or 3/— for heavy armor). It does not provide this protection against creatures of any other types.

Empyrean Jade 8,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Empyrean Jade is a very rare material highly resembling regular jade, it is however harder than steel and possesses powerful magic properties. Empyrean Jade does not immediately lose it magical properties in an anti-magic field or even in dead/null magic zones. The magic will linger for ONE ROUND before being unusable. Empyrean jade resembles jade in texture but its color shades vary from bright green to black. Empyrean jade can also be used to craft magical bracers, when it is enchanted it creates a magical force field around the wearer.

Ensorcelled Aurum 15,000gp + Cost of Armor
Ensorcelled Aurum is a material said to have been created to sate the desire of a greedy king who wanted his magic armor made of pure gold and be more effective than steel.

Armor made of the material are highly protective against both mundane and magical attacks. It can be used to create any metal-based armor.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Fire-Forged Steel 4,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Dwarves stumbled across the secret of crafting fire-forged steel in an effort to make forge-friendly tools. It didn't take them long to adapt its unique properties to armor. Fire-forged steel channels heat in one direction to protect its wearer or wielder. When it is crafted into armor, heat is channeled away from the wearer, offering some limited protection. Armor crafted from fire-forged steel grants the wearer defense against fire of +2.

Frost-Forged Steel 4,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
This material is the same substance as fire-forged steel with a subtle difference in the alignment of the metal during crafting. Instead of channeling heat away from the wearer, it channels heat toward the wearer. Frost-forged steel works similarly to fire-forged steel, except its effects apply to cold damage rather than fire damage, giving +2 DEF against cold.

Geometrium 18,000 + Cost of Armor or Shield
In the vast planes of law amidst metal gears and living machines lies a strange material not quite matter and not quite energy. Mathematical concepts drift invisibly through the air from the thousands of lawful minds, collecting in spaces and becoming compressed into solid forms by the massive gears of Mechanus. When they come from the other end, they have become crystallized geometrically perfect shapes of faintly glowing pale blue energy, solid and cool to the touch with a slight buzz of electrical current. While they appear to be glowing objects of smooth matter, they are not composed of atoms and are instead vector shapes carved into space itself, the edge infinitely fine right down to the atomic level. As a quasi-energy it is difficult to work with, only breaking into or forming into straight-edged polygons, never curved. Those who can manipulate it however can produce potent weapons and armor to battle the forces of chaos. ONLY LAWFUL ALIGNED CREATURES CAN WEAR THIS. If you are not lawful and put on armor made of geometrium, you take a penalty of -2 to your DDC.

Armor tends to have a very blocky and angular appearance. The shape is beneficial in deflecting away ranged attacks; it gains an additional +1 to your DDC against mundane ranged attacks. Finally, you gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against chaotic spells.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Glassteel 1,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
This clear glass is as strong as steel and can be used to make clear but strong armor, shields or bucklers. Glassteel is subject to neither rust nor magnetism.

Living Steel 14,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Some trees suck up potent minerals through their roots the same way others draw water from the ground. Though these trees blunt saws and axes used to hew them and shrug off fire, they eventually succumb to time or the elements. When properly harvested, these fallen trees produce nuggets of a metal called living steel. This glossy green metal slowly repairs itself. An item made from living steel repairs damage to itself at a rate of 2 hit points per day, or 1 hit point per day if it has the broken condition. Items not primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected by being partially made of living steel.

Armor and shields made from living steel can damage metal weapons that strike them. Whenever the wielder of a metal weapon rolls a natural 1 critical fail strike against a creature wearing living steel armor or wielding a living steel shield, the item must make a DC20 Endurance save or gain the broken condition. If the weapon already has the broken condition, it is instead destroyed. Living steel cannot damage adamantine weapons in this way, or any weapon enchanted in such a way it cannot be broken.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Mindsteel 8,000gp + Cost of Armor
This is a rare, soft, dull-gray metal sometimes used in the construction of metal armor found in the deepest recesses of the Underdark, and sometimes called udrukar. It resembles lead and is slightly heavier than normal steel though not enough to warrant a change in type of armor (medium armor is still medium). The benefit of mindsteel is that it naturally dampens mind-influencing effects that target the wearer, giving them a +2 to Willpower Saves against charm and mind-affecting effects. Also, it is extremely difficult for someone to scry upon you while wearing mindsteel.

Mithral 23,000gp + Cost of Armor
Mithral is a rare, silvery metal that is lighter than steel but just as hard. You may have any metal armor crafted of mithral, causing it to take one category lighter as far as initiative penalties and max quickness is concerned, so if you use it for heavy armor, your armor is considered "medium". Medium armor is considered "light". Your defense cap does not change, so medium armor still caps at 30, heavy armor still caps at 40. So if you make a breastplate out of mithral which is naturally medium, you have defense cap of 30, but no init penalty and normal quickness cap of 16.

Neutralite 6,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
An acid resistant alchemical material which has been solidified into a solid whole, neutralite is a potent defense against acidity, and a potent destroyer of earth-based creatures. This material appears to be solidified foam, white with its surface rough and pockmarked with millions of pores like a sponge or coral. In spite of its light and airy appearance it is as heavy as steel, and stronger. It is formed of of alchemical materials which are solidified in a foamed state. It is formed of rocky minerals and counts as stone, not metal, for the purposes of effects and abilities which rely on metal. Armor and shields made with neutralite is usually light and airy, and curved as if molded into its current shape. The armor grants a bonus of +5 DEF against acid attacks.
Cannot be acid washed.

Plaguewood 4,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Plaguewood is a unusual material found in the Scarred Lands, it always looks drenching wet and has a greenish hue. It smells faintly of rot and flies seem attracted to it. Polished plaguewood can be used as a material to make weapons and shields that would normally be made of wood, and although it seem to be rotting, it is in fact harder than most types of wood. Plaguewood is harvested in the Scarred Lands, and is the equivalent of a undead plant, thus positive energy deals damage to plaguewood while negative energy repairs it. Plaguewood shields crawl with bugs and other nasty vermin, and if you have a skill that allows you to use your shield as a weapon, striking a creature with a plaguewood shield inflicts poison damage as in the "venomous" enchantment for weapons.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Purple Mournlode 4,000gp + Cost of Armor
This is a vibrant silver material with streaks of purple. This metal overcomes damage resistance of undead as if it were cold iron, or silver, whichever is applicable.

Riverine 3,000gp + Cost of Armor
This material can be used to make armor, and allows an aquatic creature to walk safely upon land. It appears as a glassteel type material, that encases water.

Sharkskin 3,000gp + Cost of Armor
Similar to leather armor in appearance, sharkskin is treated so that the sharp toothlike scales covering the skin remain attached to the outside of the armor. Additionally, shark teeth are embedded along the forearms, shoulders, and legs, which count as armor spikes. Sharkskin armor provides a +5 bonus on
Escape checks made when the wearer is bound with rope or similar easily cut bindings.

Spellshocked Wood 4,000gp + Cost of Armor or Shield
Harvested from the Scarred Lands, Spellshocked Wood can be used to make armor or shields normally made of wood. Spellshocked wood looks like normal wood often with thin dimly glowing veins in the grain of the wood, which on closer inspection take on the appearance of actual magical runes. It acts as if it is enchanted with "ghost ward" allowing it's defense to count against incorporeal attacks.
This cannot be used for acid washed.

Voidglass 8,000gp + Cost of Armor
This material is as hard as steel, but made of crystals that voidglass shapers grow into the desired shapes. Voidglass resonates with a creature's mind, bolstering thought and mental defenses. Any suit of armor normally made from metal can be made of voidglass. A suit of light voidglass armor grants a +1 bonus on all saves against mind-affecting skills or spells. This bonus increases to +2 for medium voidglass armor, and +3 for heavy voidglass armor.

Shadowskin 5,000gp + Cost of Armor
Woven from threads of quasi-reality torn from the Plane of Shadow, shadowskin is an expensive fabric highly valued by those who stalk in the darkness.

ARMOR ENHANCEMENTS - ARTISAN CRAFTING
These are mundane modifications you can have placed on your main armor slot item (leather, hide, metal, etc), shields or bucklers. Enchantments and improvements work on the point system. Any one weapon or armor can have up to five (☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼) points of improvements/enchantments on it. Each improvement is marked with how many points it is worth.

Acid Washed 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
Shields (only) made from two or more metals can be acid washed in order to bring out the contrast between the metals. It creates beautiful and elaborate patterns on the surface of the weapon, and gains a +3 to any saves against acid, rust or disintegration. Only metals that logically can work together can be acid washed (so something with cold and fire could not), all materials for shields that cannot be acid washed are clearly marked. This enables you to acid wash ONE extra metal material, to acid wash a third, fourth, etc you must pay the cost for each material. Each acid washing of a material also takes up one point of enhancement. In other words, you cannot acid wash a shield with 4 or 5 materials and only have it take up one point of enhancement.

Anchoring 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
This dense armor is built in such a way that it is very difficult for you to be grappled, tripped or bull rushed. You gain a +3 to any checks involving an attempted grapple, trip or bull rush.

Blueshine 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
Armor and shields that have been blueshined will not rust or get damaged by acid. The metal takes on a blue-black color.

Environmentally Designed 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
Armorsmiths who ply their trade in locales known for extreme weather learn ways to adapt their styles to produce armor specially suited for the environment. In hot locales, armorsmiths create well-ventilated suits of armor to prevent overheating, while in cold climates the craftsmen insulate their armor in order to help keep in body heat. A suit of armor with this item quality provides a +2 bonus on saving throws against harsh environmental conditions in either extreme heat or extreme cold (determined at the time the armor is created).

Fortified 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
This armor has been fortified in the vital areas in such a way that it cannot be defeated with a natural 20 Strike from a Vorpal weapon. If someone rolls a natural 20 Strike with a Vorpal weapon, they are able to bypass defenses, but with this enhancement their armor does not become defeated. Skills that bypass armor still work.

Frightful (Mundane Version) 3,000gp | 750 | 6CP
☼ ☼
This enhancement can be placed on one's armor, shield or buckler. Once per combat, you may use the Frightful improvement to attempt to instill terrible fear into your opponent. They receive a d20 Save vs Fear, DC15 needed. If they fail, they lose a turn in combat stricken from fear. If they are the last baddie left out of a group, per DM desire, they may turn tail and run! This is the mundane version, and is based on a horrifying visage carved or crafted into your armor, shield or buckler.

Grease 500gp | 125gp | 1CP
☼

Keel 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
A keel is a tapered ridge, like the long fin of an eel, placed on a suit of armor; usually the chest, back and helmet. This gives a +2 to Swim Checks in the armor.

Move Silent 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
This armor is well oiled, causing it to make little to no noise and even dampens the sound around it, giving you a bonus to Stealth/Move Silent checks by +3.

Ornate, Major 4,000gp | 1,000gp | 8CP
☼
Although most soldiers in the field care little for the decorative aspect of a weapon or suit of armor, many craftsmen come to pride themselves on the ability to make an item both utilitarian and beautiful. An ornate suit of armor brings with it a certain amount of prestige, especially since quality decoration is often a sign of great honor or station. Ornate armor is a bit more embellished than ornate weapons, and grants the owner a +3 bonus on Diplomacy checks when wielded or worn in an appropriate setting. Ornate armor is considered having Major Ornate on it.

Prestidigitation 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼

Sharpened Shield 1,000gp | 250gp | 2CP
☼
A shield can have it's edges sharpened or studded in some way to give slashing damage instead of bludgeoning damage. You must have "Shield Weapon" to use a shield as a weapon.

Tank 5,000gp | 1,250gp | 10CP
☼ ☼
Every army needs that one soldier who can stand up to anything and everything, one whose job is meant to take the punishment and this is a means of altering armor to suit that role. The process is designed to heavily reinforce the critical weak points of the armor with thicker material. This will give them a greater protection from critical strikes granting them a 25% reduction in critical damage. [This reduction is to the critical damage only, not the base damage.]

Wand Chamber 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
A shield or buckler can be outfitted with a chamber for one wand, and the wand is considered ready to use in combat when it is placed into the chamber, you need not take up any time to ready it for use, and it may be used along with any other weapons or defense that round.

ARMOR & SHIELD ENCHANTMENTS - CRAFT MAGIC ITEM
These are special enchantments or unique characteristics you can have placed on your main armor slot item, shields and bucklers you own, some work through combat and some are one-time uses. Enchantments and improvements work on the point system. Any one weapon or armor can have up to five (☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼) points of enchantments on it. Each enchantment or improvement is marked with how many points it is worth.

Cost to Buyer | Cost to Crafter | CP Cost

Absolute Courage 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
Armor and shields with this enchantment grant the wearer immunity to fear effects. This cannot be used to bypass any official flaws you've taken, though, such as Phobias.

Anchoring 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
This armor has an anchor etched into it causing the armor to become very heavy and dense at times, making it very difficult for you to be grappled, tripped or bull rushed. You gain a +3 to any checks involving an attempted grapple, trip or bull rush.

Animated Shield 2,500gp | 625gp | 5CP
☼ ☼
Upon command, an animated shield floats within 2 feet of the wielder, protecting her as if she were using it herself but freeing up both her hands. Only one shield can protect a character at a time. This only allows for defense, an animated shield is not intelligent enough to make attacks for you (such as with shield weapon).

Anti-Impact 4,000gp | 1000gp | 8CP
☼ ☼
An anti-impact set of armor lessens damage from bludgeoning attacks. Once per combat, you may take only half the damage from any one bludgeoning attack. This includes such damage as from falling.

Aporter 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
A suit of aporter armor or an aporter shield transports the wearer and her equipment to any spot within 800 feet that she can visualize or specify, as the psionic dimension door power. This can be used as a free action during combat to move around the field of battle, but it is not an evade of any sort. This can be used three times a day.

Arrow Catching 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
A shield with this enchantment attracts ranged weapons. It has a defense bonus of +2 DEF against ranged weapons while this enchantment is active because projectiles and thrown weapons veer toward it. Additionally, any projectile or thrown weapon aimed at a target within 5 feet of the shield’s wearer diverts from its original target and targets the shield’s bearer instead. The wielder can activate or deactivate this ability with a command word.

Aversion 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼
On command, any creature to whom the wearer presents an aversion shield must succeed on a DC 15 Willpower save or be overcome by a powerful aversion to the wielder (actually the shield), and will not approach within 30 feet for one round of combat. This is a mind-affecting enchantment. It can be used once per combat.

Axeblock 10,000gp | 2500gp | 20CP
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
This armor or shield is covered in tiny serrated knife-like edges. An axeblock shield or suit of armor magically turns away slashing weapons, such as axes and swords. While wearing this armor, or carrying a shield with this enchantment, you gain damage reduction (DR) 5/bludgeoning or piercing. This means, unless you are attacked by a bludgeoning or piercing weapon, the first five points of damage is evaded.

Beastskin 2,000gp | 500gp | 4CP
☼
This armor is lightly patterned with lines resembling fur, scales, and feathers. Its coloration continuously shifts among muted tones of brown, green, and gray. As opposed to Shifter that pulls your armor into your body when you shift, Beastskin transforms your beastskin armor along with you, rather than simply allowing it to merge with your body. When you do so, the armor transforms into a suit of armor
of the same type, fitted for your new form. The armor’s weight changes to match your
new size (and shape, if you assume a form with a different body shape) but maintains the same defense as it had before.

Benevolent 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼ ☼
Benevolent armor best serves a wearer who focuses on assisting and protecting his allies. When the wearer of a suit of benevolent armor is only doing benevolent actions such as healing, he gains a bonus of +2 to his Defense DC. As soon as he takes any adverse action against anyone, it is lost for the rest of combat.

Blink to the Past 12,000gp | 3000gp | 24CP
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
Chronomancy magic is woven into the fabric of the armor, around every nook and cranny giving the armor an eerily cold feel and mild glow. This enchantment will allow the wearer to activate a time pocket around them that can reverse a single bad moment or wrong decision (with DM permission). Once per day they may travel back one round of combat's worth of time to reverse any results that has happened to them. For instance, healing the damage from the previous round, mending an item that was sundered the previous round, etc. This does not give you the ability to go back and actually change your tactics, or decisions (i.e. you can't decide to go back and evade, but you can use this to heal the damage you took). This enchant will automatically activate to save the wearer from death if they have not used it, by healing the damage taken that round.

Blueshine 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼
Armor and shields that have been blueshined will not rust or get damaged by acid. The metal takes on a blue-black color.

Bolstering 6,000gp | 1,500gp | 12CP
☼ ☼
Anytime the wearer of bolstering armor damages a creature with a melee or ranged attack, he gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against that creature's abilities until the start of his next turn. The bolstering ability can be applied to medium armor, heavy armor, light shields, heavy shields, and tower shields, but not light armor or bucklers.

Brawling 8,000gp | 2,000gp | 16CP
☼ ☼ ☼
The wearer of brawling armor gains a +2 bonus to unarmed damage, including damage given during a grapple. Her unarmed attacks count as magic weapons for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. These bonuses do not apply to natural weapons. The brawling ability can be applied only to light armor.

Buoyant 500gp | 125gp | 1CP
☼
This rune when engraved onto a suit of armor allows the wearer to be buoyant within the water and not sink. If they are pulled down, when released they will bob to the surface at a rate of 50 feet per round.

Caster's Defense 8,000gp | 2,000gp | 16CP
☼ ☼ ☼
A caster's defense shield can only be a light wood or steel shield, and has a small leather strip on the back on which a spellcaster can inscribe any one defense boost or defense absorb spell that they know to be cast in combat. You may only cast it once per combat. This allows a caster to use two defense spells during combat instead of merely one. You must state clearly which spell has been inscribed.

Charity 10,000gp | 2,500gp | 20CP
☼ ☼ ☼
This enchantment is for shields only, and allows the shield to extend it's bonus to all allies within 10 feet.

Comfort 3,000gp | 750gp | 6CP
☼ ☼

Ethereal 6,000gp | 1,500gp | 12CP
☼ ☼
Parts of this semitransparent armor seem to fade in and out of existence, there one moment and gone the next.This enchantment enables the wearer of a suit of armor to become ethereal, and once per combat this may be used to dodge one full attack unless the attack would be able to hit you in ethereal form (magic or "phantom" type weapons).
