Posted May 10, 2022There is this homebrew...
Adamanthral is an alloy of adamantine and mithral, making it both light and flexible, yet strong and durable.
It is listed as rare in its base form, which sounds about right. Two uncommon base materials alloyed together should be at least one step up the ladder of scarcity.

Posted May 13, 2022Full plate is 65 lbs of steel, adamantine is twice that weight and mithral is half. One lb of mithral is 50 gp in lvl 6 of DMM, adamantine is 100gp in dragon heist. So material cost of pure mithral plate is 32.5*50 =1625 and 6500 for adamantine. I add the regular item cost for say splint armor, but mithral could take a jeweler to craft, and adamantine needs an extreme heat source like Sundabar's volcano or Gauntlegrimm.

Posted Nov 12, 2022Seeing as adamantine has an ac of 23, adding this with an eefreeti chain or armor of resistance would be amazing armor for a BBEG.
(And I do know that this armor doesn't have adamantine's ac of 23 but it really just depends on how you like the rules to be on this armor)

Posted Jul 22, 2023This does not claim Adamantine is a metal like Mithral, is it a metal or a hard rock that can be cut into armor? Druid asking.

Posted Jul 23, 2023Spontaneous homebrew,
"Adamantine Knuckles", while holding one of those Knuckledusters, your unarmed attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Posted Aug 1, 2023They say Adaminite armour is the hardest thing they've every seen. Clearly, they haven't seen me.

Posted Nov 7, 2023Sorry. All the armour types adamantine can be added to are metal (medium or heavy -hide).

Posted Dec 30, 2023I found an issue where an Artificer cannot infuse adamantine armor, even though it is not considered magical by definition. It seems this is true for any item that has a rarity tag (cannot be infused), regardless of magical properties.

Posted Feb 8, 2024It's an uncommon magic item. It is magical by definition. The assumption I guess that's implied is that the adamantine is just metal but has a magical property to prevent crits.

Posted Feb 22, 2024If mithral is half the weight and 50 gold, totaling 32.5*50 = 1625, then adamantine being twice the weight and being 100 gold, totaling 130*100 = 13000. Even if you argued that you'd need half as much adamantine to equal the same weight, it'd still be 32.5*100 = 3250. Makes no sense that you say that 1lb of mithril would only need half the material and 1lb of adamantine being twice that weight wouldn't need twice or half. So either way, your math needs work.
