Wyrmscale (3.5e Equipment)

Wyrmscale
Scales collected from a wyrm or great wyrm, while dragonhide is rather pathetic in ever respect, wyrmscales is an incredibly formidable material. Wyrmscales are mostly collected from dragon carcasses that died from age, killed in ancient conflicts. Especially in the case of primevela or epic dragon, who can only be slain by the strongest adventurers. Still the dream of many dragonslayer is to found and kill such ancient wyrm, then fashion an armor out of it scales. A slain wyrm has enough scales to fashion 3 medium creatures per size category it has over medium.

An armor made of wyrmscales grant benefits based on the dragon it belonged too (see below). Wyrmscale is a very light material, easily as light as mithral, any armor made of wyrmscale have the same weight reduction as if it was made of mithral. Finally a wyrmscale armor halves any nonlethal damage you take, does not interfere with flight no matter it weight and grant immunity to fear as long as worn.

A shield made of wyrmscale does not halve nonlethal damages like armor, however it grant you a +4 bonus to all saves against breath weapons and the benefit of evasion and mettle against breath weapon effects.

For the purpose of crafting wyrmscale count as magical, not mundane and thus require the Craft Arms and Armor feat. Primeval and Epic dargon's wyrmscale require Craft Epic Arms and Armor feat

As soon as resistance by wyrmscale reach 36, it become immunity.

Wyrmscale has 40 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 15.
