05-20-07, 10:12 AM I considering a prison for a lich as part of my game and I'd like to have the outer prison area made of a magic resistant metal as a secondary barrier (inner prison has magical wards, anti-magic zones and other stuff to form the primary restraints) and while I could make one up I'd like to use an existing one if possible. The only thing it needs to do is be resistant to direct and indirect magical assualt. That is fireballs, polymoprth etc a metal with spell resistance in other words. I was wondering if something like this exists in one of the suppliments?

As for Spell Resistance, you'll be wanting an AMF, not SR, as that is often overpriced, easily bypassed and far too rare.

For durability you can't go wrong with Adamantine and it is generally accepted that a layer of gold or lead will block the passage of many spell effects.
