Ironwood questions

[Robbert Raets]

Can you turn wooden items into ironwood permanently?

What would that cost?

Does and Ironwood arrow still break upon impact?

I don't believe there's any listed price for permanent ironwood items. My suggestion is to either a) allow it to be affected by the permanency spell at a cost of 3000 XP or b) treat it as a magical item. b) will be more expensive but has the bonus that it can't be permanently dispelled. (Note that the CasterLvl * SpellLvl * 2000 gp formula isn't good here. The spell has a long long duration, so pricing should probably be reduced because of that.)

As for ironwood arrows, they would be very heavy and I'm not sure how well they'd fly. Remember, ironwood gives the material the weight of iron. Not sure if they'd break or not.

Check your PHB, under the Craft skill. Apparently, if you work a wooden item while it is affected by ironwood it becomes a wooden item as hard as steel. The spell itself (unless you cast it yourself) should cost 660 gp (caster level 11*60 for 6th level spell), but you'd need an additional casting if the crafting time takes over 11 days. If that is so, I suggest you try to find some way to get fabricate cast. Hope it helps.

I heard somehwere ( I thought it was a thread here ) that ironwood was errata'd to make the wood a material component, and not a focus? Anyone know if that is true?

I believe that the Quintessential Druid has something about that. I think it was considered a +2 magical improvement to an item.
