[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 1094833, member: 3854"] What is a pound of adamantine worth? What is a pound of mithral worth? I'd like to include some of this special material in a treasure horde. I'd expect the PCs would use the material to have a weapon or something crafted of the material, but what value should I put on it if they decide to sell the material off instead (a real possibility)? Copying from the SRD: Adamantine: Ammunitions = +60gp Light armor = +5,000gp Medium armor = +10,000gp Heavy armor = +15,000gp Weapon = +3,000gp Mithral Light armor = +1,000gp Medium armor = +4,000gp Heavy armor = +9,000gp Shield = +1,000gp Other = +500gp/lb.* *This per pound price does not match the prices given before it. So a mithral longsword would be 1,315gp, a mithral greatsword would be 2,350gp. But using the 500gp/lb, a chain shirt (25lb/2 = 12.5lb) would be way over 5,000gp. Not the 1,250gp listed for light armor. What would you suggest as a price per pound for these special materials found in bar form? I'd like to avoid the old "iron pot" problem. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
