Keep 'em coming.It's not evil unless the warforged in question was still alive at the time. Of course, that moves us into a good/evil discussion, and I know that there are people out there who disagree with me on what's good and evil. They're wrong, of course, but once again that's MY opinion. ^_^On the other hand, some characters ARE evil. They'd do it no problem. They'd probably go around killing off adamantine/mithral warforged for profit... (except it's probably too difficult). On the gripping hand, if there were money to be made by skinning fallen humanoids and selling the skins, you just *know* someone's gonna do it.A determined party could get them out. Probably not as whole doors. But there are stats listed for how difficult it is to break up adamantine. And unless you're using that house rule that says broken adamantine is valueless* there's no reason not to break it up into manageable chunks. You're gonna melt it down anyhow. *A house rule that does solve that problem neatly, I must say. Even if it 'should' make adamantine a little stronger than it is in RAW.Yea well, I advise that you don't plan on telling them about it.^_^Very good points, and along some of the lines I've been thinking myself. A lot of the value of the item is definitely in the craftsmanship, and in the labor needed to work the metal. That being said, it's also going to cost a lot to melt down adamantine for later reshaping. Also a good point. So there will be some shadyness to the dealings as well. It's almost certainly going to be unlawful to attempt such a thing. They've *got* to make laws against doing it. However where there are laws, there are lawbreakers. And you know that by now someone has perfected the extraction down to a science.****I'm thinking that realistically it should sell for probably a little less than 1/2 the selling price of masterwork armor of the appropriate type. It would be just raw materials after all. For Adamantine body MW full plate. For Mithral Body MW chain mail. Well, mithral's easier to work so maybe a little more than that... Perhaps also with a boost if you have the skills/equipment to do the melting down to ingots yourself.Which doesn't seem at all gamebreaking, and makes sense to me. Of *course* you can melt down the metals and sell them. And if you're fighting someone who's got better than MW chain or MW full plate, why shouldn't defeating those enemies get you a gold reward similiar to defeating an enemy wearing that type of armor (ignoring special materials)?</blockquote>
