02-19-07, 09:39 PM I would like to add the quality "Blackened" to my armor. I know that I've seen it in one of my books, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where what book its in???

edit- sorry, couldn't resist. Any chance that shadow (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicArmor.htm#shadow) is what you're looking for?

'Cause that is totally unrelated.

Oh, and sorry OP, I haven't heard of it, perhaps searching Crystal Keep might help.

AFAIK, "blackening" armor simply means painting it black so it is more resistant to oxidation (and possibly to make it look menacing).

02-20-07, 12:22 AM blackened leather armour is more efficient for protection but less efficient for mobility, at least in real life, I have no idea what it does in D&D

02-20-07, 12:34 AM Blackened??? sound like it gives some bonus to...Hide???? I'll check my books for info...

02-20-07, 12:54 AM Black would actually make it harder for you to hide. You will want dark blue instead.:)

02-20-07, 01:09 AM I think I remember an ability like this. It was like a flavor reverse of Everbright in FR if I'm thinking right. It gave resist to acid and cold or something IIRC. I might be wrong.

EDIT: I meant Blueshine from MoF. Armor is immune to acid and rust, you get +5 circ to hide, +1 cost.

02-20-07, 08:29 AM The only thing I can think of is the colored metal special bonus from races of dragon, but otherwise nothing comes to mind. Maybe you should try to tell us what the effect was.

Shadow

This armor is jet black and blurs the wearer whenever she tries to hide, granting a +5 competence bonus on Hide checks. (The armor’s armor check penalty still applies normally.)

Faint illusion; CL 5th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, invisibility; Price +3,750 gp.
Shadow, Improved

As shadow, except it grants a +10 competence bonus on Hide checks.

Moderate illusion; CL 10th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, invisibility; Price +15,000 gp.
Shadow, Greater

As shadow, except it grants a +15 competence bonus on Hide checks.

Moderate illusion; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, invisibility; Price +33,750 gp.

I say you just *Bam!* it up a notch with a spice weasel.

Otherwise, I can't think of anything besides Shadow either.
