[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2219548, member: 2067"] I'll indulge. :p These are all IMC, btw. By default, cold iron works vs. fey, demons, eladrin....silver works vs. lycantrhopes, devils, archons...adamantine works vs. constructs [B]SILVER[/B] is the Blessed Metal of the Moon. Highly skilled weaponsmiths can make versions of this metal that are basically as functional as a steel weapon. Because it is of the moon, it forces a painful reaction when lycanthropes are wounded by it. It is used in many rituals to control water, and is precious to the elves who worship the moon. Regarding it as based on something that changes and flows, rather than being constant, devils and archons find that it is able to dissolve much of their innate protections, especially when pared with good or evil alignment-energies. Silver is also valuable as a currency, due to it's rarity. An upgraded form of Silver is Mythral, which the elves fashion well. [B]GOLD[/B] is the Blessed Metal of the Sun.
