I'm trying to make a special type of crossbow for my players (homebrewed but that's beside the point) and I'm trying to figure out if there's some sort of material out there that attracts lightning (better than your everyday steel and iron).
The idea is that they can pump the monster full of this stuff with a bunch of arrows or bolts and then use a lightning bolt on them to make it harder for the monster to resist the lightning bolt plus a chain-lightning effect as it jumps to a secondary target that got hit by the crossbow. This will be important for some hordes that will be popping up in the future.
Enchanting is straight out. The weapons (and consequently ammunition) are going to be non-magical but extremely expensive because they could possibly be on par with magical weapons.
They could possibly have magical equivalents but I'd like to use that as a way to put a final price tag on these things.
In summary:
Does a material exist that enhances/attracts electric damage in D&D 3.5 or PF?
