Well, that certainly alleviates things. I thought I had lost a marble. Wait... doesn't that make a Medium-size neutronium golem's Strength score roughly 2.08E+14?!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> I take it these are density ratios? If so, these look nice. A Medium platinum golem would have a Str of round-about 54, then, if I'm not mistaken.Indeed. I'd wager that its density should be somewhere around 133% the density of iron (since an adamantine object has 4/3 the hit points of a similar object made from regular metals), so let's say 10.25 density/x8.5 weight/+21 Str. Hmm... that could be off, or else weapons 'made from' adamantine would have to incorporate a mere percentage of their constitution as adamantine, with a base metal like steel or iron. On the other hand, a Huge adamantine golem has a Str 51 in the ELH; given a base of 30 for Huge, and that previous estimate is spot-on.  Mithril, according to the DMG, weighs about half-as-much as 'regular' metals, i.e. iron and steel. Doing the math puts it at 3.86 density/x3.2 weight/+8 Str. The ELH puts the Str of the Huge mithil golem at 39 - one point off this estimate.Thanks for the hints and the insight. I'll consider churning out platinum weapons, though I was aiming for scrith gargants.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
