Volodni craftsfolk often fashion armour and weapons from the wood of blueleaf trees grown with care, sculpted with wood shape, and then magically treated to be as hard as steel. A bluewood weapon has the same hardness and characteristics as a normal metal armour or weapon of that sort but weighs half as much. Bluewood armour and weapons created in this fashion are considered masterwork items and gain the appropriate bonuses.
Bluewood items have the following additional costs:
| Type of Bluewood Item | Item Cost Modifier |
|---|---|
| Shield | +300 gp |
| Light Armour | +300 gp |
| Medium Armour | +600 gp |
| Heavy Armour | +1,200 gp |
| Weapon (1d4 or 1d6) | +400 gp |
| Weapon (any other) | +800 gp |
The process of treating bluewood to harden it requires ten days of work by someone knowledgeable in the process. This is either a volodni with 10 ranks in Craft (alchemy or woodworking), or a non-volodni with the same skills and 2 ranks in Knowledge (local—volodni).
