Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 1892371" data-attributes="member: 2209">Not so much whole game sessions as elements at a time.I'm running Demon-God's Fane and it has an armory full of old masterwork weapons "made from a blood-red color metal" with no explanation of the material.One of the PCs is a dwarven cleric with the metal domain who worships a dwarven god of knowledge and came from a smithing clan.So I had to come up with an explanation for what this metal was if I was going to use it as written.So I started a thread here asking for suggestions. The responses proposed lots of different things like 2e red steel, tanari red steel from planescape, iron ore from the abyss, lots of different qualities for the metal with special effects, some demon blood mixture, and arsenic bronze.I have Lord of the Iron fortress which has Baatorian green steel the baatezu counterpart to tanari red steel, but I didn't like the qualities as presented there, although it would have led into other plot hooks to the arms dealer in that module which I plan to use later. After googling historic arsenic bronze that had so many elements I liked that I went with that for the cleric's knowledge info.Later it had a confrontation with bodaks but I don't like the mechanics of their death gaze so I swapped them out for advanced plague wraiths from a freeport web enhancement and their disease touch fit into the story arc of disease evil superbly.</blockquote>
