Also, what special attributes would making an item out of crystal be? I can't find this information anywhere in the PsiHB.A: The April 2003 Mind’s Eye will contain some rules for crystal weapons. Here is what WotC_Mark has released concerning them:quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Crystal Weapons and ArmorAll psionic weapons and armor include some crystal in their construction. The amount of crystal used depends on the relative power of the item. While a simple psionic dagger +1 may have a small vein of crystal in the center of the blade, a suit heavy reinforced half-plate +5 is going to be composed almost entirely of crystal plates.The combination of working with crystal and metals is always considered to be masterwork, so creating crystal weapons and armor uses the appropriate craft rules from the Players Handbook. In addition, in order for the work to finish properly, the craftsman must employ a source of burning ectoplasm. This tempers and seals the crystal, and allows for it to be imbued with psionic energy.Crystal has the same weight as steel, a hardness of 12, and 25 hit points per inch of thickness.While most crystal used in item construction is found naturally, there are rumors of those who know how to grow and cultivate the material.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</blockquote>
