Diplomatic Immunity: Almost Ready Maybe?

[Rystil Arden]

What'cha talk'n about Willis? Damn, I could have had this character done a month ago with that nugget of knowledge.

Do any of your other materials have any sort of special powers not mentioned?

Like Quicksilver. Does it weigh half like Mithral or not?

Quicksteel does weigh half, although that's not such a big deal--so does Lyrobium.

Does that mean Lyrobium also acts as armour of one category lighter?

Sort of, but not quite. It still counts as its normal category (allowing it to benefit from alloy with materials that only work on medium and heavy armour), but it uses the movement/sleeping restrictions of the next lighter category.

So you can have more than one material in weapons and armor then?

Only when metallurgists have discovered an effective alloy, as with Zarradyn and Lyrobium

So would this be accurate then...is considered one category lighter for purposes of movement and sleep, but not for the use of special abilities? What exactly do you mean by 'benefit from alloy with materials'?

Yes, you've got it. As for alloys, if you look at Zarradyn, the Zarradyn/Lyrobium alloy would fail for Medium armour if Lyrobium made it count as light.

I’m so damn confused and worse yet it has no way of getting better…

Okay, honest question time, not that it matters cause Kalli when never be able to offord it off planet but:

Alaxium grants any weapon an additional +1 to its crit threat range *but* any critical confirmed on the new Alaxium number only deals x2 damage, regardless of the normal mulitiplier of the weapon or any other abilities. It costs {300 GP for an arrow or other ammunition, 3000 GP for a medium light weapon, 6000 GP for a normal medium one-handed weapon, 12000 GP for a medium two-handed weapon}. Praetorian material.

Is this an alloy that can be added to an already created masterwork weapon? (I know it only saves 50 gps. This is more out of curiosity than anything else.)

 

[unleashed]

Yes, you've got it. As for alloys, if you look at Zarradyn, the Zarradyn/Lyrobium alloy would fail for Medium armour if Lyrobium made it count as light.

Okay, I'll add that too...which I had an extra 2,000 gp to spend on the alloy.
