Equipment Upgrades

Most weapons and armor are made of normal materials, but the digital world contains a rare virtual ore that can greatly enhance the effectiveness of equipment that is made with it or has some incorporated.

The ore, known as Chrome Digizoid, is naturally occurring in a handful of digimon species, but can also be found in rare deposits throughout the digital world. In its base form, Chrome Digizoid is absurdly strong, comparable to real world superalloys, and grows stronger still the more it is tempered. Once Chrome Digizoid composition in a piece of equipment reaches a certain amount, it can also be alloyed with other digital ores/gems to create specific Digizoid variations with unique properties.

One addition of Chrome Digizoid will enhance a piece of equipment by one level (each addition consisting of a 20% composition, for an item made 100% of Chrome Digizoid at level 5). Additionally, Chrome Digizoid grants equipment the capacity to imbue equipment with a Special Ability. Alloys may be created starting at composition level 3.

Many smiths of the digital world will have some Chrome Digizoid in stock and can upgrade adventurers' equipment for simple cost, but others may require that the adventurers procure the materials required themselves.

Chrome Digizoid
Chrome Digizoid is the base material for equipment upgrades. Each addition of Chrome Digizoid adds a basic bonus depending on what type of equipment it is added to.

In Weapons: Each Chrome Digizoid level adds +1 to basic attack and damage rolls using the weapon.

In Armor: Each Chrome Digizoid level adds +1 to the item's AC.
