Adamantine Advice

[JungleBox90]

I know this sounds silly, but I want to know. Nay, I must know!

How much would a adamantine dining set cost? Also, an adamantine shovel.

I can't find any precedent aside from the mention of an adamantine spoon...

Does anyone know of alternate rules for adamantine cost per pound or something?

[Seharvepernfan]

I think the simplest thing you could do is treat each piece of silverware as ammunition. So, one adamantine fork would be 60gp (+ how ever much a fork costs).

[Swooper]

It'd help if you mentioned which system this is for.

Other than that, I can't tell you much except "make something up" if you're the GM, or "ask the GM to make something up" if you're not.

It's for a D&D 3.x campaign.

I would say the shovel counts as a Hand or Battle axe price wise.

Lets see how much this will cost us.
Admantine would get us 60gp per pound using Seharvepernfan model.

So...
2gp+480gp.

Go a step further and have a darkwood shaft.

482+80= 562.

562gp for a totally bada** shovel? Sure, why not.:smallcool:

Another question... how much would it cost to make the Mighty Arms graft (FoE, p158) out of adamantine?

Would it cost the 3000gp as per normal for a weapon, or would it cost twice that since it's two arms?

If I wanted to make it out of mithral.... anyone know of a way I can determine the weight of these mighty arms?

[Seharvepernfan]

I never said 60gp per pound, I said 60gp per piece of ammunition.

[JungleBox90]

Ah. Sorry 'bout that. I figured since ammunition is usually 1 lb I could use that as template for cost per pound.

[Seharvepernfan]

Ah. Sorry 'bout that. I figured since ammunition is usually 1 lb I could use that as template for cost per pound.

That's usually 1lb. for 20 arrows or 10 bolts, not for one singular arrow/bolt, and even then, a lot of the weight is in the wooden shaft.

An adamantine shovel is about as useful as an adamantine dagger for breaking random things. So +3,000 gp like a melee weapon.

An adamantine dining set, not so much. I'd price it like ammunition as said. Rule that the adamantine steak or butter knife is too thin, flexible and weak to cheese into an adamantine dagger, whereas a butcher's knife would be priced like a melee weapon.

That should work simply enough.
