Cheers Blakey It goes a long way toward making certain that you are at or near your maximum weight-load limit. Oh...you asked for benefits. Never mind. :D

Rulebook 01-11-06, 11:05 AM	adamantine had no weight difference... but yeah. Hard as heck to sunder, and overcomes DR/Adamantine on a shield bash. thats pretty much the only reason to get em. unless you DESPERATELY need a shield, and the only metal on hand is adamantine.
