It isn't actually meant for cutting through metal bars and such. Is there such a thing as an adamantine hacksaw? If so, where can I find it? If not, how much would be a reasonable price for one?
Sir_Chivalry 12-21-07, 11:45 PM	There is an adamantine hacksaw in Dragon #360, I think it's like 2000gp or something
Salla 12-21-07, 11:52 PM	I believe the adamantine hacksaw makes a reappearance in Dungeonscape, as well.
FrostWolf 12-22-07, 12:05 AM	Arms and Equipment may have one. I know they have regular hacksaws.
Talcon 12-22-07, 10:00 AM	Dungeonscape page 30 there is a number of Adamantine tools
Voran 12-23-07, 07:14 PM	Ahh Adamantine, DnD's equivalent to the Lightsaber. I mean, if you had an Adamantine combat knife, with like a serrated edge on one side, you'd be unstoppable. You could carve through trees, rock, walls, jail cells, whatever. Or with the mace example, why bother? With a light adamantine mace, an average strength dude could break down a wall or fell a tree every couple of minutes. Honestly, the whole 'ignores hardness' thing is a little silly. :P
ToastedAmphibian 12-27-07, 01:53 PM	!!! It never occured to me before, but a warhulk with an adamantine reach weapon could demolish an entire city block in less than 6 secounds, leaving NOTHING but dust, and possbly a few lucky critters with HIGH AC or lots of HP's

Rulebook 12-27-07, 03:06 PM	an axe or a pick is usually a better thing to demolish stuff with in real life, neither of which are blunt!
Talcon 12-27-07, 06:28 PM	axe or a pick can get stuck in real live if you don't break what you are hitting, but this is a game so use what you want.
