Special Materials

MAL 14

 * The party went to ask Barris about deepsteel and learned that it is of Infernal origin and causes additional pain whenever someone is cut by it, causing concentration checks to fail. Combining that with the bleeding enchantment, the party deduced this was probably a sacrificial knife.

 * In fact, after the party's next sleep cycle, Aler finds a neatly tied package in his tent (how it got there without alerting him or anyone on watch at the time, he has no idea.) Inside is a bundle of five arrows of a reflective black metal, very light to the touch. The note attached to them says only "From a fellow archer." Barris, when you return to town, identifies them as blacksilver, a mystical alloy of fey origin known for being able to pierce the Veil between worlds. They're usually spoiled by impact, so use them judiciously.

MAL 27

 * The party went to see Barris and Morgana, learning that the Bow of the Dog Soldier recovered from the pocket dimension is a fey artifact made from an expensive and very magical ore Barris called "stargold." Apparenly such weapons are able to bypass damage reduction and deflection. Jon recalled a legend about an ancient gnollish queen aligned with the Fey who slew a bone dragon with a mystical golden bow.

Weapon price addition for special materials:


 * BLACKSILVER: 820 gold. (Special properties: can strike beings in the Fey lands, including those who are feyblinking. Origin Fey)
 * Arrows should have a market price of 16.4 gold, or 16 gold and 4 silver. A full quiver of 20 should cost 328 gold.
 * DEEPSTEEL: 2600 gold. (Special properties: on successful strike, causes burning pain that prevents spellcasting or anything else requiring concentration checks for one round. Origin Infernal.)
 * Deepsteel is not normally used for arrows because it is extremely heavy and hard to weight. You can do it, but it's going to give you a significant -DRM to hit. This has a market price of 52 gold per arrow or 1040 gold per quiver of 20.
 * The penalty is -8 for each 30 foot increment. So if you're shooting 30 feet or less, it's -8, if you're shooting between 30-60 feet it's -16, if you're shooting between 60-90 feet it's -24.

Personal Notes
AHNKSAH: ??? gold. (Special properties: like steel but 4x more dense and extremely heat resistant. Takes infernal, abyssal, or dragonfire to work it. Origin Abyss.)
