Urrhus Chitin

Description
Urrhus Chitin is a special material primarily used by Sorenirs and Darfalk. Extracted from Urrhus beatles, the chitin is soaked into special alchemical solution which softens it and allows it to be easily worked. When shapen it is then treated with a second solution which hardens the chitin to a similar strength as steel.

Gameplay
Most items made of solid metallic plates can instead be made out of Urrhus Chitin, such as armors and weapons. Urrhus chitin is however fairly heavy; multiply the weight of the item by x1.5.

As it is not made of metal, Urrhus Chitin is not vulnerable to rusting effects or other effects targeting metal. Any prolonged and severe exposure to water will however severely damage Urrhus Chitin.
