Some Dweomermetals, such as Mithril Alloy, Peacemetal, and Puremetal in the Mithril family of alloys, change an armor to a different armor category. In the case of Mithril alloy, armor is changed to a lighter armor type for proficient use. In the case of Puremetal and Peacemetal, medium armor is treated as light armor, and heavy armor is treated as medium armor in all ways, including the movement penalties. | Some Dweomermetals, such as Mithril Alloy, Peacemetal, and Puremetal in the Mithril family of alloys, change an armor to a different armor category.

Failing to have the appropriate proficiency causes the wearer to take the non-proficient penalty (a penalty to attack rolls equal to the armor's armor check penalty or -4, whichever is larger).

Some Dweomermetals add combat effects, such as bleeds or bonuses to forced movement. In all cases, to gain such effects the weapon must be wielded in combat by a proficient user to gain these bonuses. Simply holding a weapon grants no bonuses: that weapon must be actively used, with skill, to inflict the effect. In most cases these bonuses will not stack with multiple weapons, either. | Some Dweomermetals add combat effects, such as bleeds or bonuses to forced movement.

==Sunder== | ===Sunder=== | ||
Some dweomermetals offer greater defense against the Sunder combat maneuver, while others, in the form of a weapon, grant a bonus to the wielder's CMB for [[Combat_Maneuvers#Sunder|Sunder maneuver]] checks. The bonuses listed in the Sunder column ONLY pertain to the wielder's CMB or CMD (as indicated) with regards to the [[Combat_Maneuvers#Sunder|Sunder maneuver]]. This bonus does NOT confer to other combat maneuvers such as trips, disarms, etc. The bonus type granted, if any, is a material bonus, which will not stack with any other material bonus to the same attribute (CMB or CMD). Instead, only the largest available bonus is used. | Some dweomermetals offer greater defense against the Sunder combat maneuver, while others, in the form of a weapon, grant a bonus to the wielder's CMB for [[Combat_Maneuvers#Sunder|Sunder maneuver]] checks.

Argent is widely used where the appearance of an item is of importance, and is a primary ingredient in magical mirrors. Nearly every item can be made with argent, and if it were a little more effective at retaining enchantments it would be even in higher demand than it is, but it is only a little better at holding dweomer than is cuprium. | Argent is widely used where the appearance of an item is of importance, and is a primary ingredient in magical mirrors.

Weapons made with Argent alloy provide the wielder with greater finesse when using special combat maneuvers, such as trip, disarm and bull rush. This bonus to CMB is considered a material bonus, and thus will not stack if you have multiple weapons. | Weapons made with Argent alloy provide the wielder with greater finesse when using special combat maneuvers, such as trip, disarm and bull rush.

===Argent Armor=== | |||
Armors and shields crafted using Argent Alloy make the wearer more difficult to damage with damage which does not specifically make a to-hit roll against them, such as splash damage (e.g. an alchemist's bombs) or area of effect attacks (e.g. a dragon's breath weapon) centered on a nearby square. This reduction occurs before any saving throws are resolved, and this reduction applies to any damage type except Primal. It is neither ER nor DR, though it shares the properties of both. If a character also has DR or ER appropriate to the attack they are resisting, they choose the best of the resistances available to them, but only one such resistance can be applied to any one attack. | Armors and shields crafted using Argent Alloy make the wearer more difficult to damage with damage which does not specifically make a to-hit roll against them, such as splash damage (e.g. an alchemist's bombs) or area of effect attacks (e.g. a dragon's breath weapon) centered on a nearby square.

=== Ambergold Weapons === | |||
Weapons crafted using Ambergold are especially attuned to dealing elemental damage. When enchanted with a magic weapon property that deals some form of energy damage (such as the +1 property, [[Flaming]]), the Ambergold weapon adds +1 additional point of base weapon damage of that energy type to the weapon's overall damage. Since this is base weapon damage, it increases at level 8, 15, 22 and 29 along with the physical damage of the weapon. This damage is also multiplied on a critical hit. Furthermore, the wielder may trade away enhancement bonuses for +1 additional point of base weapon energy damage of the same type as the magic weapon property provides (i.e. fire for Flaming, etc.), instead of gaining the standard +1 to attack and damage. Note that Ambergold does not provide any benefit to weapon damage unless it is also enchanted with an energy-damage weapon property. | Weapons crafted using Ambergold are especially attuned to dealing elemental damage.

===Ambergold Armor=== | |||
The innate feature of Ambergold in armor is to increase positive energy healing applied to the wearer. This effect improves the efficacy of small heals, such as potions or wands of cure light wounds, but does not help with effects granting temporary hit points. Note that if you have both armor and a shield made of Ambergold, only one of those effects may trigger with each application of healing. | The innate feature of Ambergold in armor is to increase positive energy healing applied to the wearer.

=== Bloodgold Weapons === | |||
Because of the metal's softness, weapons are never made out of bloodgold. Instead, they have bloodgold inlays of intricate design and complex symbologies. Weapons that have a bloodgold inlay draw some of the life force of the foes they damage into the wielder. After damaging a foe, the wielder of a bloodgold weapon gains fast healing until the combat ends, they are disarmed, or they cease wielding the weapon for any reason. Ammunition traced in bloodgold does not provide any benefit, although they're the prettiest damned rocks you'll ever have smash you in the face. | Because of the metal's softness, weapons are never made out of bloodgold.

===Bloodgold Armors=== | |||
Just as with weapons, armors are never fashioned from the soft Bloodgold, but are instead inlaid with fine traceries and designs. When the wearer spends an action point, the armor provides her with a pool of temporary hit points in addition to the normal benefits the action point grants. If both a Bloodgold shield and Bloodgold armor is worn, both effects trigger when the action point is spent, but like always, temp hit points do not stack. | Just as with weapons, armors are never fashioned from the soft Bloodgold, but are instead inlaid with fine traceries and designs.

Bloodsilver is also a soft metal, and bloodsilver weapons, like bloodgold, are generally either coated or inlaid with the metal to gain its magical affinities. Weapons crafted from bloodsilver create ragged wounds, inflicting bleed effects on their targets. Indeed, ancient lore suggests that bloodsilver itself has an insatiable thirst for blood. | Bloodsilver is also a soft metal, and bloodsilver weapons, like bloodgold, are generally either coated or inlaid with the metal to gain its magical affinities.

When the wearer spends an action point, the armor immediately ends one status condition she is suffering from, in addition to the normal benefits the action point grants. If both a Bloodsilver shield and Bloodsilver armor are worn, both effects trigger when the action point is spent, allowing up to two conditions to be cleared. Note that the following status conditions cannot be cured with Bloodsilver's features: bloodied, staggered and unconscious. It will, however, end a prone, grappled or pinned condition, cure all energy drain or ability damage currently afflicting the wearer, or any other single status condition they are suffering from. | When the wearer spends an action point, the armor immediately ends one status condition she is suffering from, in addition to the normal benefits the action point grants.

As with all of the dweomermetals and special materials, cuprium-infused weapons and armors are masterwork. Cuprium is unique in the fact that it may be applied to an already-crafted cloth, leather, bone or wood weapon or armor to make it masterwork, even if it is mundane (non-masterwork) to begin with. This is useful if a weapon or armor has sentimental value, as with a family heirloom, allowing for a humble beginning that grows in power as the character grows in power (for the cost of actually enchanting it, of course). Weapons and armor which are primarily metal (such as longswords or chainmail) cannot be cuprium-infused, and thus cannot be upgraded from mundane to masterwork. | As with all of the dweomermetals and special materials, cuprium-infused weapons and armors are masterwork.

Adamantine weapons are adept at sundering objects due to their extremely high hardness and ability to hold a strong edge. Furthermore weapons made of adamantine can penetrate DR x/adamantine, which is a defense common among constructs. | Adamantine weapons are adept at sundering objects due to their extremely high hardness and ability to hold a strong edge.

Dural is not an especially good stone to work with in construction, (it fractures easily, has a difficult-to-find cleavage plane structure, and is friable) but its extreme heaviness (it is five times denser than lead) gives it a niche market in exotic Sling Bullets and Seige ammunition, as well as a few occasional uses in shipbuilding for keel weights. | Another less widely used material is Dural.
