Adamantine

Adamantine Weapons
Adamantine weapons may bypass the damage reduction of creatures. They are especially useful against construct monsters such as golems. Adamantine weapons have a Hardness rating 10 points higher then an equivalent steel weapon would have.

Monks receive the class feat Ki Strike: Adamantine at level 16, allowing them to bypass Adamantine damage reduction with unarmed attacks.

Adamantine Armor
Adamantine armor provides damage reduction (DR) based on the type of armor that is made from it:
 * Light: 1/- damage reduction
 * Medium: 2/- damage reduction
 * Heavy: 3/- damage reduction


 * Like weapons, armor made of Adamantine has a Hardness rating 10 points higher then equivalent steel armor.


 * Warforged racial Adamantine Body feat grants 2/Adamantine.

This DR does not stack with that granted by most other abilities, such as the Barbarian's damage reduction. See the Damage reduction page for more information on DR.
