= Ceramite =

[[Summary::A fire resistant clay ceramic which has been hardened and augmented through alchemical means, ceramite is a potent defense against fire, and a potent destroyer of fire-based creatures.]]  This off-white clay based material resists heat well, and is magically hardened to its current state.  It feels cool to the touch.  It is clay based and counts as stone, not metal, for the purposes of effects and abilities which rely on metal.

Any weapon primarily composed of metal can be made as a ceramite weapon.  They are particularly effective against creatures with the fire subtype, dealing an extra 5 points of damage to such creatures.  Ceramite weapons count as cold damage for the purpose of bypassing regeneration when beneficial.  Weapons made of ceramite gain a 10% discount on the Aquan, Frost, and Freezing Burst enchantments.  

Armor can also be made with ceramite.  Such armor usually appears as if covered in ceramic tiles and layered like scales.  The armor grants fire resistance which has the unique property of stacking with other forms of fire resistance.  Light armor gains fire resistance 3, medium armor gains fire resistance 6, and heavy armor gains fire resistance 10.  If the fire resistance of the creature ever exceeds 35 points, they gain fire immunity instead.  Armor made of ceramite gain a 10% discount on any enhancements which grant fire resistance.  Creatures wearing ceramite armor benefit from an ''[[SRD:Endure Elements|endure elements]]'' effect, but only against hot weather.  Shields count as light armor for the purposes of benefits.

Ceramite 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, ceramite weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and the armor check penalty of ceramite armor is lessened by 1 compared to ordinary armor of its type.

Ceramite has 8 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 8.  Against fire, its hardness is 15.
