I was wondering on pricing for damaged equipment.
Both Magic and nonmagical with special materials. IE:adamantine/mithiral/etc.

Should the damage on it only be placed to the armor/weapon cost, IE for a weapon 300+wep cost(because of masterwork quality) some % of that to be reforged, or should it take away some of the special material cost for that weapon or armor also? All magic is lost on damaged equipment? % of the entire cost be taken out?

I see good arguments for both ways on the special material cost. Not sure what is official.

As for magical enchantments: When an item has at least one hit point it has all it's magical abilities. When an item has been reduced to 0 hitpoints (broken), it no longer has any magical abilities. It costs 1/2 the price to make something to restore a magical ability
