Adamantine

Adamantine is an incredibly hard metal

described in the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide. Some folk

in Faerûn believe that metallic adamantine is made by

combining adamantine ore and the correct proportions of

silver and electrum, or even by combining steel and mithral, but dwarves and others in the know scoff at

such tales.

Weapons fashioned from adamantine have a natural

enhancement bonus on attack and damage, as listed below

and explained on page 242 of the DUNGEON MASTER’s

Guide. Adamantine weighs the same as steel, has hardness

20, and has 40 hit points per inch of thickness.
