Oerthblooded items can also be “re-enchanted”, making their XP value fungible in the creation of a new item (minus a 10% penalty).

They have twice the Hardness of the base metal the Oerthblood is alloyed with (e.g. Oerthblooded iron and steel have a Hardness of 20). Oerthblooded metal items have damage points equal to 1.5 times the damage points for a normal item of the base metal's type.</p><p></p><p>Shields made with Oerthblooded metal parts gain no additional properties other than those listed above.

[HEADING=3][U]Oerthblooded Weapons and Armor (Dragon 351) (Weapon Treatment)[/U][/HEADING] Items made from Oerthblooded metals are more easily enchanted than other substances, requiring 25% less time and XP expenditure to enchant. Oerthblooded items can also be “re-enchanted”, making their XP value fungible in the creation of a new item (minus a 10% penalty). Oerthblooded metals can also hold more magical power than other metals; effectively giving Oerthblooded weapons, armor, and shields a total allowed item bonus of +12, with an allowable enhancement bonus of up to +6. Oerthblooded metals are extremely difficult to craft, thus all Oerthblooded items are considered to be masterwork. They have twice the Hardness of the base metal the Oerthblood is alloyed with (e.g. Oerthblooded iron and steel have a Hardness of 20). Oerthblooded metal items have damage points equal to 1.5 times the damage points for a normal item of the base metal's type. Shields made with Oerthblooded metal parts gain no additional properties other than those listed above. Weapons and armor made primarily of Oerthblooded metal have additional properties as listed below. Oerthblooded Weapons*: 1. A +1 luck bonus on to hit and damage rolls. 2. A target that takes damage from an Oerthblooded weapon incurs a -1 penalty to all saves vs. magical effects for one round; penalties from multiple hits stack. Oerthblooded Armor*: Light Armor: DR 1/-, +1 luck bonus on saves vs. magic effects. Medium Armor: DR 2/-, +2 luck bonus on saves vs. magic effects. Heavy Armor: DR 3/-, +3 luck bonus on saves vs. magical effects. *Weapons and armor must be a specific alloy of [I]Oerthblood[/I], known mostly to the artificers and smiths of Irongate to gain the above benefits. Only primarily metallic objects would gain these bonuses. [B][U]Type of Oerthblooded Item Cost Modifier:[/U][/B] Ammunition +150 gp Light Armor +10,000 gp Medium Armor +20,000 gp Heavy Armor +30,000 gp Weapon +6,000 gp [B]Steel Ice[/B]: various types/colors.

[B][U]Other Metals from Fantasy:[/U] Orichalcum[/B] - Originally of Atlantean origin, it absorbs the properties of other metals, and transmutes metals that are in long term contact with it into it. Flowing liquid metal with a coppery-red hue to it. [B]Hihi'irokane [/B](crimson ore, scarletite, et al) - Japanese equivalent of orichalcum.
