Pearl (3.5e Equipment)

Pearl

An ideal material for use underwater. Long lasting and available, but it does take some work to put it to any use. Pearl isn't just those little round gems-of-the-sea, its the shell too, and therein lies the biggest cache of potential. From pieces of a clam's great shell, to thousands of small shells linked together to form chain mail, pearl gear is useful and elegantly pleasing to look at. However, it comes at a price. It also comes in four different colored varieties for several purposes.

Table: Pearl Types
Color	Hardness	Weight	Base Market Price	Hit Points
White	8	100%	×3	25/inch of thickness
Black	8	75%	×5	25/inch of thickness
Copper-Red	12	100%	×10	30/inch of thickness
Blue-Green	12	500%	×3	30/inch of thickness

White Pearl

White pearl gear costs three times as much as standard gear. It can substitute for metal, wood or other hard and inflexible materials. Once broken, only magic can mend a break. It weighs the same as standard items. White pearl is the easiest to come by and is made by many clams, scallops and oysters.

Black

Armor Check Penalties are reduced by one as all black pearl items must be masterwork items. Arcane Spell Failure reduces by 10%. Armor’s Maximum Dexterity Bonus is improved by 1. Black pearl gear costs five times as much a normal gear (plus the masterwork component). Black pearl is less common, as it originates from a few kinds of oysters.

Copper Red

This pearl is tougher than white pearl. These items are always masterwork items and cost ten times as much as normal items (plus the masterwork component). Copper Red pearl is harvested from the knight conch, which are slow growing as well as rare.

Blue-Green

Used only in the manufacture of the great staff. Blue-green pearl is harvested from a special abalone.

Pearl Gear

Pearl gear is typically not traded. However it does occasionally make its way into market places on land. It is very difficult to resize a suit of armor made from pearl without using magic to alter it. Any check made to resize a suit of pearl armor for a new wearer (without proper magical aide, such as a pearl shape) suffers a −6 penalty.

Pearl's hardness can be increased with pearl harden.

gollark: EVERY DAEMON is meant to do logging? Uncool.

gollark: Although I don't know how you could get that without overintegrating with a log system in some way.

gollark: One really nice thing it can do is show the last few lines of stdout/err in `systemctl status`.

gollark: Replying to https://discord.com/channels/346530916832903169/348702212110680064/748567160003100752No, I mean it's at least nontrivial to update text files in a way which won't break if the server implodes halfway through.

gollark: True, although it has some very nice convenient features and I think osmarksßsystemd should try and have them.
