[QUOTE="Beefermatic, post: 8454526, member: 6670757"] [B][U]New Material: Quark Matter[/U][/B] Quark matter is a strange fluidic metal that is many many times more dense than Neutronium. Quark matter sits in the hearts of large (relatively speaking) neutron stars, a hyperdense non-newtonian fluid that appears much like Neutronium (a gray bubbling semisolid metal that bubbles and seems to churn whilst still keeping it's shape) however is much more liquid than than Neutronium and has a brilliant silver shine that seems to always remain clean and polished like untarnished white mercury and glows with a brilliant silvery white blue light that can be hard to look at, the material is so dense and high mass that it has a significant gravity well around it causing mundane objects near it to be pulled towards it, and creating a significant lensing effect, making light appear to stretch and warp around it creating a halo of distortion. Quark Matter can only be forged with titanic forces far beyond the ability of most immortal smiths and can generally only be forged by mythic sidereal smiths and demiurge hands due to the sheer impossibility of being able to handle, much less actuallu process, such material. Quark Matter requires a strength of 355 to wield a weapon or use armor made of pure Quark Matter. It being highly condensed Neutron Star degenerate matter, it is roughly 8x heavier than Neutronium weighing x 281,470,000,000,000 that of steel, it has a hardness of 22,500 and deals 256x base damage for weapons or 256x the base armor bonus for armor and shields. Quark Matter has 45,000 hp per inch of thickness. Being a fluid that acts as a solid, it has extremely unique properties that could allow for all sorts of interesting effects with weapons and armor weapons made of this material could theoretically stretch or wrap around an opponent's blade or armor, armor made of this could theoretically be very easy to move in (with a high enough strength of course) or shift or adapt as a situation requires it. It may even appear as simply a small amorphous glob of strange brightly glowing fluid in a belt or box made to transform on a moment's notice into hyperdense and nearly impenetrable Quark Matter armor and weapons. All of that I'll leave up to the DM. What Quark Matter does do however is this, in addition to the massive Hardness Quark Matter provides and the obvious benefits of higher armor and damage potential, Weapons and Armor made of Quark Matter effectively cannot be destroyed, if damaged, they heal and if destroyed they simply reform. All Quark items effectively are treated as having the Indissoluble Omnific Ability healing all damage taken at the beginning of their next round. The only way to truly destroy a Quark Matter item is to sunder it with an item of higher density (Strange or Black Hole Matter for example) or throw it into either a Black Hole or Strange Star, though dispelling the forces holding the weapon in place may also be an option. It also glows with a brilliant light mimicking a sunlight spell at all times, this effect cannot be suppressed and may get in the way of stealth or hide checks unless covered or otherwise mitigated and the lensing effect makes Quark Matter have a permanent [I]Blur[/I] effect as the spell though it is considered an extraordinary effect and thusly not subject to immunity from spells or illusions.
