Message: <blockquote data-quote="merelycompetent" data-source="post: 2929579" data-attributes="member: 33830">I came up with another one after a night's sleep:24. The warhammer was actually a pseudonatural adamantine-based life form from the Far Realm. It feeds on metal, and reproduces by either fission (which reduces the overall size, HD, and hp of the creature), or contact with adamantine items. (Be nice - make it non-magical adamantine. Or go for broke: The flaming, shocking <pseudonatural> adamantine +3 bastard sword suddenly sprouting tentacles that embed themselves in the wielder (granting DR 20/adamantine) and then taking over his body to attack the other PCs for their adamantine should create some interesting situations for your party). The players will probably think that thieves are somehow - by DM's fiat - stealing their gold and platinum, at first. Y'know, 20 coins here, 100 there. Please note that it reproduces by *contact* with adamantine items (gestation period 1-3 days, or hours, or rounds...), so fighting a DR 20/adamantine creature can pose a few challenges. As the PCs start contaminating adamantine items, they may find themselves at the top of the Wanted (or UnWanted) list wherever they go. Killing the darn thing causes it to split open - whereupon they discover that the creature's digestive processes have converted 90% of the adamantine into diamonds... with threads of adamantine inside them, like blood vessels. (And if you want to be mean, don't tell them that the diamonds are the eggs. On the other hand, this is also a good way to let them keep at least the money and *some* of the adamantine as a reward for being good sports.)</blockquote>
