Wow... no wonder people were telling me the DCs in my artificing system were too low.How do you equate materials with levels of masterwork? I mean, I know you don't really use "levels of masterwork", but how do you determine the bonuses from, say, mithril or adamantium or star metal, as far as attack/damage, ACP, and max Dex?Silver is softer than iron, but it's a good deal heavier - iron is 26 on the periodic table, whereas silver is 47. Have to agree, though, that silver weapons would probably do less damage - they'd become deformed on a critical hit.[qoute]*really what is the dif between iron and 'cold' iron?*</blockquote>Cold iron (the textbook definition, not the DMG one) is iron that's been forged at a lower temperature than normal - cold-forged iron, or wrought iron. It's a little weaker and more brittle than normal iron, and so not often used beyond decoration, but it's great against the fey. I still wouldn't recommend making a large weapon like a cold iron sword, because it runs a chance of breaking (say, 10% chance on a critical hit).[/QUOTE]
