Under the craft skill, page 92, third whole paragraph down, the skill states that if an ironwood spell is cast while making a wooden item, it makes it as hard as steel.
Is this effect permanent? the spell is not, but i assume that in this case it is. How does this effect the cost of an item, especially armor and weapons?
I'm making a npc who follows the druid scripture of no metal armor, despite himself not being of the druid class. he will have ironwood breastplate and I'm trying to price out his gear.
anybody have an idea on this?
I looked and, by RAW, there is nothing to indicate that it becomes permanent. It seems to be stuck with the duration. There isn't anything regarding the Ironwood spell under Permanency either.
By RAW, you could have a dragon hide breastplate, which fits the same druidic ethos and has the same properties as a masterwork breastplate.
By houserule, you could either make the effect permanent when cast on armor or allow Permanency to be cast on it.
thanks
