Depending on what one was going up against, the efficacy of the tool used varied. Also effective against faerie beings were items made out of ash and rowan, and a few other forms of botanical defense. There's a big pile of information out there and a fair number of books in the local literary shops that cover a wide range.
- and that cold-pressed (ie stamped) ironware was said to be inimical to fairies, as a sign of encroaching mundanity and modernity. But while you might have a stamped-iron box or broach, it's not practical for weapons. 3e/WotC ended up making "cold iron" basically a rare, magical, mithril-ish sort of stuff, the reverse of the cold-pressed iron myth.S'mon said:Thanks Gideon, I do know all that
