Ghost Touch Materials?

[alchemyprime]

I know Serren Wood can be used for weapons. What can be used for armors?

[TuggyNE]

Serrenwood with ironwood on it?

[Curmudgeon]

Unless you can find some exotic armor made of wood and can substitute serren wood in its construction, you're probably stuck with using it to make shields.

Riverine.

As for wood armor: there is the ingeniously named wooden armor

You can make any metal armor out of the previously-mentioned serrenwood/ironwood combination, although only for a day/CL at a time, and only with a fairly high-level Druid spell.

Would the spell work at all if you used serren wood instead of normal wood?
If so, would it retain any of the Ghost Touch properties of the special serren wood?

Ironwood is a magical substance created by druids from normal wood.

[TuggyNE]

Not entirely clear; is ironwood (as the spell) listed as a special material somewhere? If not it seems within reason to allow the spell to accept special materials and transform them accordingly.

Presumably, since it doesn't say it removes them.

Ghostwall Shellac (150 GP, Dungeonscape) + Unguent of Timelessness (19 GP, DMG). Make sure the armor is made out of a material that was "once alive", such as dragonskin or darkleaf. On average, should last about 6 months (14 hours x 356 = about 207 days).

There are also some rules in Ghostwalk to make equipment out of ectoplasm. Costs +5 GP per pound (added to the base cost of the item), and the ectoplasm lasts 10 days. You can increase this duration to 100 days by paying +50 GP per pound. Or just use a dose of Ungent of Timelessness to increase the duration to 1 year + 9 days.
