== Moonstone ==

[[Summary::Said to actually be stone harvested from the moon, it has absorbed a particular quasi-magical essence.]]  Moonstone is a pale gray stone which has a soft mottled appearance, and shines like a [[SRD:Candle|candle]] in shadowy illumination and darker.  When refined, moonstone is smooth and polished.  Unrefined ore can be hazardous to one's health as moonstone dust tears up lungs.

Any weapon primarily composed of metal can be made as a moonstone weapon.  It counts as stone, not metal, and is super effective against creatures of the night (specifically lycanthropes).  It counts as silver for bypassing DR/silver, and on a natural 20 it reverts any creature polymorphed or with the shapechanger subtype by to their original form.  This can also be done with a touch attack that deals no damage, and provokes a [[Fortitude]] save DC 10 + 1/2 BAB + your ability modifier used for attack, save negates.  For the purpose of shields, treat them as weapons.

Sundered moonstone weapons releases a puff of dust at their attacker, forcing a DC 20 [[Fortitude]] save against 1d6 [[Con]] damage (inhaled).  The effect lasts but for a moment before it destabilizes.

Armor can also be made with moonstone.  You have no penalties whenever in light or no gravity, and can actually gain a [[Hover (3.5e Creature Ability)|hover]] speed (perfect) equal to your land speed in such conditions.  You take half damage from falling, and jump twice as far as normal while wearing this armor.  You do not count your armor's armor check penalty against jump checks.

Curiously, moonstone slabs prove to be a strange conductor for teleportation and portal magic and technology.  For any effect which transports or teleports creatures or beings which is applied within 5 ft of it (such as ''[[SRD:Gate|gate]]'' (travel version) or casting ''[[SRD:Dimension Door|dimension door]]'' while standing upon it), the range you can teleport is doubled and you can roll twice and take the better result for any mishap chance.  You can also use it as a portable focus for [Teleportation] effects (usually as a rod or orb), granting you a +1 caster level on [Teleportation] spells and effects.

Moonstone is so costly that weapons and armor made from it are always of masterwork quality; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below.  Thus, moonstone weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and the armor check penalty of moonstone armor is lessened by 1 compared to ordinary armor of its type.

Moonstone has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 8.
