07-15-07, 01:12 PM Hey guys I'm working on something that I would like your feedback on, it was originally a spell, however due to time constraints and gold constraints (i am a vop druid) I would like to know turn it into a feat.

here goes:

weapon adaptability
duration 1 minute/level

you've learned to use any weapon you wield to your advantage.
The rarer the metal and or combination of damage reduction you use the more powerful the spell becomes, see the next table for examples

DAMAGE REDUCTION SPELL LEVEL
silver 1
gold 2
platinum 3
cold iron 4
cold wood 5

in addition to that you can also use this spell to add more properties to the weapon you are currently using.
However if you were to do so it would also add 50% to the level of the first modified weapon. See the next table.

DAMAGE REDUCTIOn SPELL LEVEL
Magic & Silver 2
magic & gold 3 (rounded up)
magic & platinum 4
magic & evil 4
magic & good 4
magic & cold iron 5

The way it works is if you use the feat (standard action) then you burn a spell level according to which DR you are trying to bypass. So for instance a if you are trying to bypass silver & magic you would burn up a level 2 spell.

07-16-07, 09:13 PM I'm confused.

If i'm reading everything correctly, this feat grants both adjustable DR and adjustable DR bypassing? In return you give up 1 spell/minute of use?

this seems drasticly over-powered.

...

gold and platinum DR??? and i think you mean alchemical silver DR.

07-19-07, 09:36 PM the feat does not grant DR, it just allows you to bypass DR for 1 minute a level once you sacrifice the spell level required for that particular damage reduction. And no I do mean gold and platinum, because in a ravenloft campaign setting that are those that have gold DR etc...

I would not recommend forging wood at typical forge temperatures... o I would assume it is cold... hot wood would not last too long.

@OPI think you are a a bit confused about DnD DR either that or you have a lot of house rules that I have never seen.
