[QUOTE="Blacksad, post: 1031337, member: 1359"] or you might indulge yourself in new metals (sorry for the mental image :D) The new metal would have the ability to replace two or three other metals. silver+adamantine=mithril adamantine+cold iron=platinium cold iron+silver=gold silver+gold+adamantine=star metal each metal having big cost, or requiring special treatment to be usable as weapon. There is a section on special materials for weapons and armors in magic of faerun IIRC, you could find ideas in it. For the good/evil chaotic/lawful weapon, perhaps you could use the rilmani (from fiend folio/planescape) and say that they have special moral and ethical enchantment (though which might only be wielded by neutral character in the moral or ethical axis). If you prefer the spell version, I would make them level 2 spell at 10min/lvl and reduce the level for paladin/ranger (they get the spell later, so better giving them the spell when they need it).
