Thunderbronze[edit]
A durable alloy of bronze, copper, iron, and the mysterious storm-ridden places in the elemental plane of air, this material vibrates strongly on impact. Thunderbronze is a intense metallic orange, with wavy patterns engraved along it and an oil-like sheen covering its surface as the light hits it. On impact, the material vibrates rapidly and lets off item-specific distinctive ringing sounds.
Any weapon primarily composed of metal can be made as a thunderbronze weapon. Thunderbronze weapons deal an additional 1d4 points of sonic damage on hit. A critical hit deals 1d8 sonic damage for x2 weapons, 2d8 for x3 weapons, and 3d8 for x4 weapons, and the creature is deafened for a number of rounds equal to the critical multiplier. This stacks with the Thundering enhancement, and deafening from Thundering adds to the duration. In any round you hit with a thunderbronze weapon, the noise gives you a -8 penalty on Move Silently.
Armor and shields can be made of thunderbronze. It vibrates on being struck, causing subsequent attacks to be less effective as blows are deflected and distorted. Any time you are hit and dealt damage, your effective AC rises by +1 deflection bonus with each hit to a maximum of +10. The bonus is cut in half each round, to a minimum of 0. In any round were hit when wearing thunderbronze armor or shields, the noise gives you a -8 penalty on Move Silently.
Thunderbronze 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, thunderbronze alloy weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and armor and shields have their armor check penalty decreased by 1.
Thunderbronze has 8 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 8. It is immune to sonic damage, takes half damage from acid, fire, and electricity, and quarter damage from cold.
