04-26-05, 02:08 PM Do Adamantine Arrows automatically get destroyed on a successful hit?? I know most arrows do, but considering how strong Adamantine is, I thought I would ask.

However, you should ask your DM for a ruling, because considering the fantasy setting, it would be unlikely that the enitre shaft is metal, only the head, which could be recovered and reused even if the shaft were broken.

04-26-05, 02:16 PM Ok, cool, just wondering.

Now if you had just the head, how much would you say it would cost to re-make the arrow??

04-26-05, 02:26 PM Um, nothing if you have the Craft: Bowmaking/fletcher. Just whip out a knife and find a tree. Since you have adamantine arrows, I'm assuming you can find equally fine items for cutting wood. Per Dm discretion of course.

04-26-05, 02:30 PM Adamantine Arrows are made of wood with adamantine arrow-heads.

As such, while the arrow heads don't break, the shafts are splintered, just like normal arrows.

I made up some alternate rules for these kinds of situations, but they were not fantastic.

Hmmm. New Idea.

New arrow type to be shortly posted.
