Ensorcelled Aurum (3.5e Equipment)

Ensorcelled Aurum
Summary::Ensorcelled Aurum is a material said to have been created to sate the desire of a greedy king who wanted his magic armor made of pure gold and be more effective than steel. Ensorcelled Aurum is in fact highly dense and solidified gold created through magic, it is just as hard and solid as steel but with innate magical abilities. Armor made of the material are highly protective Armors and shield made ensorcelled aurum grant damage reduction/magic equal to the base attack bonus of the wearer, up the armor's armor bonus or shield's shield bonus. The damage reduction granted by ensorcelled aurum armor and shield stack together. As an immediate action the wearer of an ensorcelled aurum armor or shield may make the damage reduction granted by his armor and/or shield be Damage Reduction/- instead of magic against the next attack he receive. Finally the last major benefit of an ensorcelled aurum armor of shield is that they add half their armor or shield bonus (whichever is appropriated) to touch AC.

Weapons made of ensorcelled aurum strike with magic powers instead of raw physical force. The weapon base damage and enhancement bonus is dealt as magical damage, however any bonus given by strength (or other ability score), power attacks and any other source of bonus damage is dealt as physical damage of the appropriated type. A projectile weapon made of ensorcelled aurum may fire magical ammunition of the appropriated size and type, the magical projectile deal pure magical damage but any source of bonus damage is physical (whichever damage type is appropriated for the weapon). The weapons does not need to be reloaded after firing a magical projectile but still does if it fired a physical projectile.

Additionally While wielding a ensorcelled aurum weapon, the wielder may bestow upon it the effect of an uncapped greater magic weapon as a swift action with a caster level equal to his character level+4, however unlike the spell this effect only last for 1 minute.

Ensorcelled aurum has 20 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 10.
