Adamantine

Adamantine Weapons
Adamantine weapons bypass the damage reduction of some creatures, often construct monsters such as golems. See Monster DR and weaknesses for specifics.

Adamantine weapons have a Hardness rating 10 points higher than 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. Some loot-generated handwraps and named handwraps show "Adamantine lined" as a metal property.

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 than 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.
