Reinforced Concrete[edit]
A very versatile and useful building material, reinforced concrete is cheap and strong. It is made from concrete usually reinforced by rebars or other material to deal with tensile issue with the base concrete. Reinforced concrete is generally poor at making weapons and armor, although it is possible. Such equipment is much heavier, not due to the weight of the material but to the increase in thickness needed to make it possible.
What reinforced concrete really excel at is at being the base of building and fortification. As it is reinforced concrete possess much higher hit point per inch of thickness compared to stone, making it much better (although arguably worse looking) than it brick and sculpted stone counterpart.
In general a weapon made of reinforced concrete is worse than it steel counterpart, a weapon made of concrete only deal bludgeoning no matter what the base weapon's damage type was. The weight of any weapon made of concrete increase by 50%.
A reinforced concrete armor is much heavier, quadruple the weight and decreasing the max dexterity bonus by 2, increasing the armor check penalty and arcane spell failure by 5 and 25%. While wielding a reinforced concrete shield you take a -2 penalty to attack, which stack with the penalty for using a tower shield. In exchange the armor Bonus or shield bonus increase by 1 and it grant DR 1/Bludgeoning for light armor or light shield, DR 2/Bludgeoning for medium armor and heavy shield and DR 3/Bludgeoning for heavy armor and tower shield
