Måste ett vapen av ferroplasm göra?
Mined from secret locations in the Astral Plane, this malleable metal holds its shape only in the hands of a psionic being. When an item forged with ferroplasm is unattended or held by a nonpsionic creature, it melts and temporarily loses all special powers. But when wielded by, psionic creature, such an item immediately springs bad into its true shape and regains all abilities. In its proper form, a ferroplasm item glows with a violet light (illuminating a 10-foot-radius), unless the item’s owner mentally quenches it. In an area where psionic powers do not function, it collapses as if in the hands of a nonpsionic creature. ...
Weapons fashioned from ferroplasm have a natural enhancement bonus to attack and damage.... These bonuses do not stack with other enhancement bonuses. Weapons or armor fashioned from ferroplasm are treated as masterwork items with regard to creation times, but the masterwork quality does not affect the enhancement bonus of weapons....
Ferroplasm has hardness 20 and 40 hit points per inch of thickness when in its true form, and a hardness of 5 and 10 hit points per inch of thickness when soft. (Psionics Handbook 138)1
Ett vapen av ferroplasm som behandlar 1d4 eller 1d6 poäng av skada uppnår en bonus på +1 och kostar ytterligare 2500 gp, medan ett vapen av ferroplasm som behandlar 1d8, 1d10 eller 1d12 poäng av skada blir +2 förbättringsbonus och kostar ytterligare 7.500 gp.
Alternativt, vad sägs om ett sentira vapen?
This bizarre material is wrought by Chosen, Inspired, and (rarely) kalashtar who use powdered crystal and the power of their thoughts and emotions, also drawing on the essence of Dal Quor. Sentira items are literally grown into their final form. They have an organic, whorled appearance, much like horn or shell, with a shimmering, opalescent surface. Color varies based on the emotion used to create the particular batch.
Sentira is lightweight and almost unbreakable. Because of its resonant properties, it is an ideal material for emotional armor. For purposes other than those described in this chapter, sentira is treated as mithral.
Sentira can be formed, sculpted, and repaired only by psionic creatures that have the Craft (sentira) skill. Such craftspersons, known in Riedra as thoughtweavers, must expend 1 power point for each day of work on a sentira object, whether building or repairing it. (Secrets of Sarlona 135)
Sentira är, du noterar, gjord av "pulveriserad kristall" men "behandlad som mithril" - jag vet inte om det är nära nog för DM (eller en kemprofessor), men åtminstone beskrivningen < em> nämner annan metall, om än en fiktiv. Intressant är att även om ingen statistik ges för att göra vapen från sentira är allt else i Secrets of Sarlona gjord av sentira (t.ex. rustning, mosaik, grindar, offentliga konstinstallationer, pass, hela byggnader ). Det kommer att vara upp till DM för att bestämma priset på sentira vapen. Jag föreslår att han styrs av de speciella förmågorna och kostnaderna för känslomässig rustning (137-8).
