Is there a permanent weapon / armor special ability that protects against rust monster and other rusting attacks? I seem to recall one, but cannot find it. It might have been a spell instead of a special ability.
And one of the most frightening for the players is the horde of barbarian dwarves charging down on the PCs riding large rust monsters, wearing hide armor and wielding stone axes.
EDIT: Check the arms and equipment guide 3.0 there should be a magical enhancement called something like "everbright" or some such that makes a weapon or armor totally immune to corrosion. Very handy thing.
The reason for the question is that Rust Monster damage is not damage. It's save or die for equipment. So, you could have a very expensive Adamantine Ancestoral Relic with hardness 35+ and 60+ hit points and it just vanishes on a failed save.
And yes, Everbright is the one I was thinking of. In Arms and Equipment, it is weapons only. In Magic of Faerun, it is both weapons and armor. Thanks!
