A deisteel weapon requires a lot of extra care to wield, requiring exotic weapon proficiency with the deisteel version of the weapon as well as the normal weapon proficiency. However, the extra effort in wielding such a powerful weapon is well-repaid, as a deisteel weapon deals damage as if it was one category larger, has its damage dice increase by one die size, has its critical threat range and multiplier increased by 1, and finally, it may count as one category smaller when beneficial (two-handed becomes one-handed, one-handed becomes light). A deisteel projectile weapon has its range increment increase by 50% in addition to the normal effects. Weapons fashioned from deisteel have a natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20.

A deisteel shield is extremely protective, reducing all damage taken (even typeless damage) by the shield bonus plus the enhancement bonus.

Because of its craftsmanship, deisteel requires special training when used in armor form. Deisteel armor requires the exotic armor proficiency of the armor size category (so a deisteel full-plate would require heavy exotic armor proficiency). Deisteel armor grants incredible resistance to the wearer; a deisteel armor's armor bonus increases by 2 and grant DR/- equal to half the modified armor bonus plus one additional point of DR/- for each point of enhancement bonus the armor has. Deisteel armor counts as one category lighter when beneficial; heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light.

Deisteel

Deisteel is an extremely rare and mighty material; it is extremely hard, light, and packs a powerful punch. It is said that deisteel is an alloy of two now lost materials. As a material, deisteel is not mined; rather, long-lost deisteel items are found in perfect condition, and crafting a deisteel item requires the destruction of one of these ancient relics. Deisteel has the same texture as regular steel, however, it is a glossy black with gold reflection and is extremely lightweight.

Alloying deisteel utterly ruins it; it cannot be combined with other materials (through the material composite enhancement, by example). Deisteel items are very light and only weigh 25% of an item's original weight. Items made out of deisteel count as both Adamantine and Mithral. Finally deisteel does not rust and appear to be unaffected by age, thus it cannot be magically rusted or it hardness decreased.

A deisteel possess properties which make it ideal for weapon making, treat it as both an Adamantine and Mithral weapon. A deisteel weapon possess incredible force, it critical hit threat and multiplier increase by 1 (to a maximum of x5).Deisteel armor also greatly lessen otherwise fatal blows, attacks with extra multiples of damage are reduced by one multiple (such as a ×3 critical hit becoming a ×2 critical hit).
