Adamantine Quarterstaff

[trentonjoe]

Is this possible? I can't find Adamantine in the SRD>

 

[Camarath]

No it is not possible because a Quaterstaff is not normally made of metal. In the SRD Adamantine is under SPECIAL MATERIALS.

 

[sdt]

Why not? The end of the staff could have an adamantine cap or band.

Why couldn't a quarterstaff be made of metal? Sure it'd be rather heavy, but with a sufficient strength score it should be doable. Magic of Faerun has rules for heavy weapons - that might work as well.

So a heavy quaterstaff would do 1d8 damage and have a -4 to hit penalty without the appropraite exotic weapon feat?

I would essentially be a worked, 6 foot long, rod of Adamantine?

This is, of course, if you ignore that one line in the SRD that says you can't make a quaterstaff out of adamantine.


On another note, what if there was an martial weapon that was a metal version of a quarterstaff. (1d8/1d8/20/x2) That isn't good enough to be exotic right?

Then the heavy exotic version would be (2d6/2d6/20/x2), that seems far cooler. Are my numbers right?

Heavy also requires the weapon to be entirely or largely made of metal.

if you can't make the quarterstaff out of adamantine, take an ordinary wooden staff and encase it in a thin sheet of mithril. Boom. Stronger and more damage.
