Adamantine

This ultrahard metal adds to the quality of a weapon or suit of armor. Weapons fashioned from adamantine have a natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20. Armor made from adamantine grants its wearer damage reduction of 1/- if it’s light armor, 2/- if it’s medium armor, and 3/- if it’s heavy armor. Adamantine is so costly that weapons and armor made from it are always of masterwork quality; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below. Thus, adamantine weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls, and the armor check penalty of adamantine armor is lessened by 1 compared to ordinary armor of its type. Items without metal parts cannot be made from adamantine. An arrow could be made of adamantine, but a quarterstaff could not.

Only weapons, armor, and shields normally made of metal can be fashioned from adamantine. Weapons, armor and shields normally made of steel that are made of adamantine have one-third more hit points than normal. Adamantine has 40 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 20.

09-21-06, 07:39 PM Is there an official price for raw adamantine? If so, what is it? And what would be an appropriate Craft:Tool check fror making a Adamantine mini(6 inch)-saw? Is it just a masterwork check?

Draconomicon P278
Adamantine (100 gp) per pound

As for the craft check, DMG doesn't have cost for other items of Adamantine.
Mithril costs 500gp/lb to make other items and the raw cost of Mithril is also 100 gp/lb,
it will mean to be fair, Adamantine should cost at least what Mithril costs (or more.)
I would rule more, since an Adamantine Light Shield is 5 times the cost of Mithril, I would rule
making a saw would be 25 times the weight. So if it weighs 1 lb, it should cost 2,500 gp to make.

Do your craft checks using 2,500 gp (25,000 sp) and use the Masterwork method.

Edit: fixed my spelling. Thanks Wolf72
