[QUOTE="Petrosian, post: 756669, member: 1149"] I must confess i find it amusing to hear all the "we wish magic was rare, but since it isn't we are going to make materials rare." arguments. Is silver going to be rare for mages and clerics who seem to beed 5lbs of it at a pop for various spells? Is holy water about to become some rare and mystical item because no one can find silver any more, partly because the stashes of silver dust are buried beneath all the piles of magic weapons? Sorry, the answer is not to try and concoct some inane restriction on non-magical materials like IRON and SILVER because we have too many enchanted blades running round. The answer would be to leave magic as it is and raise the required magic levels for DR higher, so that against parties of the expected CR you got some mileage out of the DR. My bet is most Gms will follow the leed and we will see finding bags of silver and cold iron ingots to be "precious and wonderful" because magic weapons are ubiquitous. Golf bags... here you come.
