Goldspark Alloy[edit]
An alloy of gold and iron this material, while still soft, is viable for weaponry. It is known to easily channel electricity and has gold's shiny luster. It is also quite heavy, but this is a small price to pay for bling. It is sometimes known as Desert Steel or Desert Gold, as the material was traditionally forged by desert dwelling creatures.
Goldspark alloy weapons weigh twice as much as normal and deal damage as one size larger, and can be used to channel electrical attacks. You can attack with electrical touch spells with the weapon, or use it as a Spell Storing weapon which can store electrical spells. This stacks with the Spell Storing enhancement. In desert terrain (or any place prone to static charge) the weapon deals an additional +1d4 electrical damage. Weapons made of goldspark gain a 10% discount on enhancements which deal electricity damage.
Goldspark armor and shields are somewhat hazardous and unhelpful. Like armor, the weight is doubled. It's armor check penalty is also doubled, but it has no arcane spell failure for casting electrical spells. It's heavier weight grants a +6 bonus to stability as a dwarf. This stacks with the dwarf racial feature. It also conducts electricity away from the user with its protective resistant padding underneath, granting a +2 bonus on saves against electricity. Armor and shields stack the bonus on saves. Goldspark armor appears very fancy, and counts as a royal outfit, with any social benefits that follow.
Goldspark alloy 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, goldspark weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls. It is sometimes used for lightning rods.
Goldspark ally has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 6.
