[QUOTE="JLXC, post: 230714, member: 2663"] Until WOTC issues Eratta for Adamantine I cannot even SEE an issue here. Adamantine has an Enhancement bonus. The word Natural before it ONLY means that "The bonus is in the metal itself and cannot be considered an actual enchantment, it's a magical part of the material and provides an Enhancement bonus like any other magical weapon or such spells as Greater Magic Weapon). So an Admantine Long Sword is a +2 Weapon. The End. I see no rules problem. WHY does it work in an Anti-Magic Field? Because it does? Anti-Magic, as the big argument over that went, is not powerful enough to strip the bonus off it, in the same way Anti-Magic does not effect a Dragons Flight although it is stated that it is magical as well. There are certain magical effects that as SO much a part of something, Anti-Magic does not Effect it. SOOOO Adamantine just keeps it's bonus within the Field, and is just +X all the time like a normal weapon. It Surely bypasses DR and it cannot be sundered by a normal weapon. I can see why the sage was confused on this one, as so many people try to push the "special material" aspect when it has no bearing on the situation. There is no rules question. Natural Enhancement.... does no exist in 3E. Something WITH a Natural Enhancement, meaning i.e. English Language, Natural means Part of the object not a modifier. [/QUOTE]
