Special Materials: What about wood?

[Three_Haligonians]

So, adamantine, alchemical silver, cold iron, and mithril are all fine choices for special materials for armour and swords and the like..

What about clubs and quarterstaves? I know there is darkwood, but surely over the course of the game other "special woods" must have been produced right?

If so, where can I find such things? what do they do?

There are a couple in the Eberron Campaign Setting. Bronzewood is dense, soarwood is light, and livewood is alive.

First knee-jerk smart guy response: Wood isn't special, it grows on trees.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'll take a look at my books and maybe find some, but you could make your own up based on these two:

1. Gopher wood - Noah made the ark from this. Maybe gives a bonus in the hands of LG Cleric types. Or possibly a bonus for stability if used as a ship building materia.

2. English oak - Maybe increased hardness for quarter staves.

Thanks,
