Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 199563" data-attributes="member: 537">Please. I do the "harsh and condescending" thing MUCH better than you. Would you like me to start?Also, point 1: ConcreteBuddha argues that adamantine cannot be used to replace wood components. This will become significant further on, as we shall see.Well, yes. It has a wooden haft, doesn't it?All that means is that the important part of the axe -- the head, in other words -- is constructed out of adamantine. I fail to see how making the handle out of adamantine has anything to do with how much damage it does or how hard it hits.Point 2: ConcreteBuddha is now arguing that adamantine _can_ be used to replace wood components. Needless to say, this contradicts point 1 rather nicely.Please to make up your mind.Your point being...?Facile. The exact same point would apply to a normal battleaxe, unless you're suggesting that those are made completely out of metal as well.If you wanted to, sure.Anything you want it to, if you want to make life complicated for yourself. As you appear to be doing quite handily.Facile. You might as well ask the question, why does an arrow fired from a longbow gain more of a bonus from adamantine than a shortsword or halfspear, even though these use more adamantine? Answer: it's magic. Please to remember Hong's Third Law.Is that the one where you run around in circles arguing with yourself?</blockquote>
