Urdrukar, often referred to as “mind steel”, is a dark metal found only in the deepest recesses of the Underdark. Naturally resistant to divination magic, items made from urdrukar are greatly prized by those who do not wish to be found. Every 5 pounds of urdrukar that a character wears or carries increases the DC for all attempts to scry on that character by +2.
Armour and shields made from urdrukar have double the normal arcane spell failure chance. Urdrukar is heavier and harder to work with than most other metals. Armour made from it tends to be somewhat clumsier, making gestures more difficult.
Urdrukar has a hardness of 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. Metal items made from urdrukar cost an additional 500 gp per pound.
| Type of Urdrukar Item | Item Cost Modifier |
|---|---|
| Armour | +500 gp/lb. |
| Shield | +250 gp/lb. |
