Astral Drift Metal
Astral Drift Metal
This extraordinarily rare mineral is mined only on Tu'narath and other islands of matter floating in the Astral Plane. It is very similar to iron but has a single remarkable feature. Armor crafted from astral driftmetal is fully effective against incorporeal attacks, as if it were made of force. The armor's full armor bonus to Armor Class (including any enhancement bonus) applies to the wearer's touch Armor Class against incorporeal attacks.
Astral driftmetal is not malleable enough to be worked into chainmail or scale mail; only a breastplate, shield, or any form of heavy armor can be made from it.
A suit of driftmetal armor weighs the same as a suit of armor made of steel. Other statistics of the armor (maximum Dexterity bonus, armor check penalty, and arcane spell failure chance) are unchanged.
Astral driftmetal has hardness 12 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. Its market price modifier is +12,000 gp.

Astral Driftmetal
Armor (breastplate or halfplate), very rare
Creatures who possess the Etherealness ability or the Incorporeal Movement ability cannot move through your space. Additionally, you cannot be possessed by creatures with the Possession ability.
Astral Driftmetal originally appeared in the Planar Handbook for 3rd edition.
"The rarity of Astral Driftmetal is due to the fact that it is only harvested in Tu’narath, the capital of the Githyanki.
Well from Tu'narath or off their dead bodies. They're not fond of either option."
-- Sharak Solas, githzerai general.
