Thinaun Fabric[edit]
A form of thinaunCW processed for use in armor, it prevents creatures from having their soul removed, but also prevents travel to the afterlife if the creature perishes. Thinaun is a glittering dark steel, typically formed into weapons for their soul stealing properties. However as armor, its cost has been prohibitive until someone took the shavings from the weapon forging, treating them alchemically, and turned it into an asbestos-like fabric held within a flexible gel-like medium. This is layered between fabric to produce thinaun fabric that can replace any cloth or leather material in armor, or used as the underpadding for metal armor. Thinaun fabric often has a center "knot" where the threads intertwine, and where the soul ends up if a soul has been imbued within.
Cloth or leather armor which is made into thinaun fabric locks the soul of its wearer in place, rendering immune to soul-transferring effects such as magic jar and trap the soul. If the wearer dies, their soul is embedded within the knot in the armor rather than passing on to its final reward. The soul remains in the thinaun armor until the armor is destroyed or another creature dies while touching (or wearing) the thinaun armor (the new soul displaces the old one). Raise dead, resurrection, and similar spells won't bring back a creature whose soul is thus trapped unless the caster has the armor in his posession. Because the soul is nearby, reincarnate, raise dead, resurrection, and true resurrection require half has much of the relevant material component to cast if the soul is within a thinaun armor. Lastly, you apply your full armor bonus against incorporeal touch attacks, as other souls are unable to invade you while you wear this.
Thinaun fabric can be placed underneath metal armor as padding, though it does not apply the armor bonus against incorporeal touch attacks when used in this fashion.
Thinaun fabric needs special preparation so all fabric armors made from it are always of masterwork quality and thus one less armor check penalty; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below. Thinaun fabric added to metal armors does not obtain this benefit.
Thinaun fabric has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 2.
