Adamantine Bolt Cutter

This toil is made of adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence. Whenever it attempts to break an object, the “hit” is a Critical Hit.

Item Type: Tool

Description:

This heavy-duty tool is crafted with adamantine, known for its durability and ability to cut through most materials. The arms are reinforced with dense iron, while the jaws are forged from a thin layer of pure adamantine. This bolt cutter is designed to be as efficient as possible in breaking through metal chains, padlocks, and even reinforced barriers. Although non-magical, its construction gives it an edge over mundane tools.

Properties:

• Weight: 12 lbs.
• Dimensions: 3 feet long, with 10-inch adamantine jaws.
• Durability: Resistant to damage and wear, it requires no maintenance under normal usage.

Functionality:

• Efficient Cutting: The adamantine jaws allow the cutter to snap through standard iron and steel objects with ease, ignoring the need for a strength check on basic materials.
• Heavy-Duty Usage: For sturdier metals (like mithral or dwarven-forged steel), a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check is required. On a successful check, the adamantine bolt cutter can break the object. On a failed check, the tool may slip, forcing the user to reset their grip.
• Limitations: Though highly effective, the bolt cutter cannot break through magically reinforced barriers, enchanted metals, or objects of significant magical construction, such as warded chains or arcane locks.

Cost: 500 gp
