Duraleather[edit]
Duraleather is leather which is particularly heavy or dense, either by nature of the creature it came from or through alchemical alteration. Duraleather is very durable, but not terribly flexible.
There are few weapons which can be made of duraleather, being a fabric. Flexible weapons like saps and whips can be made of duraleather gaining damage as a weapon one size larger and the weight of the item doubles.
Duraleather armor on the other hand is much more effective, able to be applied to any fabric or leathery armor. Duraleather armor weights are doubled, their maximum Dexterity is decreased by one (minimum 0), and their arcane spell failure increases by +5%. Their armor check penalty is reduced by 1 as normal for masterwork armor. Duraleather is quite protective, granting an additional +1 AC bonus to the armor in question. It also reduces any bleeding damage taken by 1 as the leather weighs heavily and snugly on the body.
Duraleather needs special preparation so all weapons and armor made from it are always of masterwork quality; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below. Thus, duraleather weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and duraleather armor reduces its armor check penalty by one.
Duraleather has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 4. Duraleather is immune to bludgeoning and sonic damage, quarters acid, cold, electric, and fire damage, and halves all other damage except piercing damage, which deals full damage.
