Minor Conjuration and Adamantine

[silverwind]

I have noticed that the Minor Conjuration power states that any conjured item is dispelled if it takes damage. How does this work for materials that are more resistant to damage, such as Adamantine.
Do they stay around if they are not actually damaged, or do they dispel on the principle of being attacked (or put into a damaging situation)?

A high AC helps them not to be damaged, so if they are, then you just aren'r having a lucky day.

The funny thing is, Adamantine is listed under "Magic Items". So technically it's not allowed. :smalltongue:

Adamantine armor is listed under magic items, but I don't believe that all adamantium is necessarily magical.


Also, I think this is one of the areas where a DM ruling might be good. Obviously, a normal metal weapon just isn't going to harm a sturdy adamantine item. It's like the example of someone attacking a dungeon wall with a normal sword: However skilled and persistent the user is (and however much damage he can deal), the sword will dull and break before the wall takes noticeable damage.

Oh, of course. I was just amused by how it was categorized. :smallsmile:

Yeah i'd give adamantine a damage threshold.

I'd rule that adamantine is an supernal material and falls under the magical provision of minor conjuration, same with things like mythril, dragon scales, or ironwood. These materials really are supernatural, they hold powers beyond the mere composition of their physical structure.

I agree I wouldn't let my players use this ability to summon items made of specific item types. If they want a bucket, it's an obviously magical bucket made of magic... lol not iron or wood or adamantium etc.
