Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormborn" data-source="post: 3161710" data-attributes="member: 14041">Not bronze weapons specifically, but I have included antique weapons as treasure, things that were subpar to the PCs weapons overall but still valuable.  I would have the PCs make an Appraise check to decide that the weapons had value beyond scrap and greater than other things of similar size/weight that they might want to carry out instead.Once back in civilization they might make a Gather Info to find out who might buy the things, or you could sub a Bardic Knowledge or Know(nobility) if nobles are the only ones who have the funds to do so.  If the items have a special providence let the PCs find that out or find someone who can tell them.  A bronze sword wielded by a warrior is one thing, a bronze sword wielded by a member of the famous Red Legion's 12th Column is another, and a Sol's Needle wielded by Arcus Pell Renowned Captain of the 12th Column is yet another.  For a mundane weapon with no story say the weapons are worth x10 their modern equivalent, for a storied weapon x20, if a weapon can be confirmed as belonging to a specific historic figure x100 or more.You  might also decided that while the weapons aren't magical (and if they are the PCs are unlikely to just sell them as antiques since the magical properties might negate any weaknesses) you could determine that they do "take" magical properties better than modern materials due to a special mastercrafting technique now lost.  You could say that using one of these weapons reduces the XP cost to enchant as magical by 25%.  That would increase their value by about +50%.</blockquote>
