02-21-05, 02:58 PM FRCS had a bunch of alternate metals that did 1 extra point of damage of a particular element. The prices seemed a bit high, but maybe okay -> basically about 1500 gp per weapon.

Are those prices still accurate for 3.5, do you think?

I was also thinking of exapnding the list to include metals that were impregnated with positive or negative energy (prompted by RMGCLF's anit-undead weapon). For example, a sword that inflicts an extra 1 damage from positive energy, 2 to undead, no bonus to constructs or objects. Likewise, a darkmetal that inflicted 1 damage from negative energy, -1 against undead.

Thinking
fire, cold, acid, electricity = 1500gp
sonic, positive, negative = 2500gp

These metals, worked into armor, might provide a single point (or maybe 2) of elemental resistance as appropriate.

Note, I think armor for Sonic should grant +1 sonic resistance.

Positive Energy enhanced Armor could possibly grant DR 1/evil. and Negative Energy enhanced Armor could grant DR 1/Good.
