Also, any magical enhancements cost an additional 2,000 gp.Now the question is, which source is primary?
This means that in terms of being crafted into weapons small weapons like needles, daggers, tips of spears etc are good candidates for bronze. I even managed to do it without mentioning what a bloody stupid system the non-metric measurements are (oops! A mundane sword is a mundane sword regardless of what it is made out of.
Most of the beauty of metalwork down through the ages has been associated with the gleam and hue of mirror-polished, untarnished silver, and it has always been associated with the adornment of magical items.Very Awesome information.
Iron, Cold.
After all, "steel" is just our name for a certain @SevenSidedDie Yes: other answers made it clear that for this particular setting (which I know nothing about) "cold iron" includes steel. [3.5e->5e] Cold Iron weapons? It would fall under alchemy, the study and philosophy of how to change basic substances (such as metals) into other substances. Anybody can ask a question
Copper is non-ferrous so it doesn’t rust and it is not corroded by Rust Monsters.Stone Age weapons almost always utilize stone in some way. Sounds like ee-car-id-on. "Cold Iron" is mentioned in a lot of games—please focus on the one actually in play at the time.A lot of what people carry that may have once been steel is now aluminum or some other similar metal, when it's not plastic.e.g the obvious guess: my keys don't stick to a magnet, and so presumably have negligible iron content.
Some of these materials grant the item the fragile property – a property that can be applied to both weapons and armor.This is one of the hardest substances in existance.This iron, mined deep underground, known for its effectiveness against fey creatures, is forged at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate properties. It is just as powerful as iron but weaker then steel.
I suppose DMG should be the primary source, but Magic Item Compendium is newer. It is in fact difficult compared to iron. This was proabably a purposeful design decision.
Almost all such expert smiths are dwarves, as the Deep Folk guard the secrets of working adamant jealously, but a priest or wizard seeking to enchant items can make use of finished adamantine items and need not necessarily have to work with a smith to create an adamantine work anew.This well-known pure metal, with its distinctive pinkish sheen, is the best widely available purifier and amalgamator among metals. In the standard 5E books, there is no mention of Cold Iron afaik.
Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts. Traits Ethereal Sight: The ghost can see 60 ft. into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
Detailed answers to any questions you might have
That is my philosophy too, but I had to ask.Here is what I have for weapon construction materials: Here are the Armor rules and the previously shared weapon rules all consolidated from all the various places. I will still not allow PCs to create magic items and I would rule that the art of enchanting items was lost long ago.That doesn’t mean that you can’t have house rules for creating magic items if you want that in your game.
I have an artificer who swears he can make synthetic rubies from chromium and aluminium oxide powder and a plasma generated from high voltage electrical arc. Many dwarves use silver in various alloy formulae of their own devising or that have been handed down through clans for generations.
You know how it is different from usual Water, you know how you get it or create it. Weapon Categories. This iron, mined deep underground, known for its effectiveness against fey creatures, is forged at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate properties. the science checks out, and it stands to reason that those components would exist somewhere given that rubies exist.
I am glad that it helps.Only issue I have with this is the mithral/adamantine prices, this would put a suit of armor of either of these metals at an INSANE price/value, despite being a common/rare item?Now you could make the argument that adamantine weapons/armor are only lined with it, but mithral armor is supposed to be mithral.D&D Beyond (which I don’t use) lists both Mithral and Adamantine Armor armor as uncommon.The per pound price of Mithral doesn’t matter much, because it is so light.

For instance, an obsidian sword may to +1 damage (glass is super sharp), but also has a high change to break, on a critical failure (which I guess in 5thEd is just a natural 1) or when used to block. I will make this the bulk of my next post.Excellent and glad to help.
(By contrast D&D 3.5 says cold iron is special stuff, defined both by where it’s mined and how it’s forged.

Note there are no prices for magic items in the PHB or DMG. Resists Fire, Lightning and Acid. It is however much better at being cast then iron. @SteveJessop Yep, modern key blanks are usually nickel-plate brass or similar.This has always been my understanding of "cold iron" as a generic term - raw iron, @MattThrower It really does depend on the setting (and sometimes, on the research quality of the writer).
