Impervious (Shield Magic Property)
Impervious (Shield Magic Property)
An impervious item is warded against damage and decay. A metallic weapon, armor, or shield with this property cannot rust and a wooden weapon, armor, or shield cannot rot or warp, even by magical or supernatural means. An impervious item grants a +2 bonus to the owner's combat maneuver defense, and gains a bonus to its Durability equal to its Enhancement Bonus. Thus, a +1 Impervious Wooden Heavy Shield has a Durability of four, but a +4 Impervious Wooden Heavy Shield has a Durability of seven.
If an impervious item gains the Broken condition, it is automatically made whole again at the beginning of the next encounter, or after a full night's rest, as long as the item is not destroyed. If it is destroyed, the magics of the property are destroyed as well.
