Wildbone[edit]
There are many legends which tell tales of heroes besting a fell beast, a powerful dragon, a horrifying demon, or other such creature and then crafting the body parts of said creature into a weapon or armor of great renown. Though much of it is myth there is some truth to it. Creatures of unusual prowess leave a mark on their now dead bodies, and by transforming the bones of the creature into items one can coax out some of the once great power they once had. Thus, wildbone is not actually a single substance but rather any bone or bone-like substance that was once part of a great monster. Traditionally they come from powerful magical beasts, but can be from any source, even the bones of humanoid saints and other heroes.
Any weapon primarily composed of metal or wood can be made of wildbone. Wildbone is considered stone, and is unaffected by rust. Wildbone grants one or more properties of the table below. These properties generally are related to the powers the donor creature had in life. Likewise, armor and shields can also be made into wildbone using the chart below. Wildbone with no powers awakened from it is merely just durable bone, and costs the same as a normal iron item. Properties overlap, they do not stack, even from separate wildbone items.
Wildbone 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, wildbone weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and the armor check penalty of wildbone armor is lessened by 1 compared to ordinary armor of its type.
