Metal Ranged Weapons
Any Weapon that has the Ammunition property do not gain the benefits of the Metal they are manufactured with. Ranged Weapons, such as Bows, Firearms, or Slings do not gain the benefits of the Metal they are manufactured with.
Commonly, it is better to either Enchant a Ranged Weapon, or to acquire pieces of Ammunition forged from exotic metals.
Adamantine Armor
Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon
This suit of armor is reinforced with adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence. While you're wearing it, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.
Adamantine Weapons
- Whenever an adamantine weapon or piece of ammunition hits an object, the hit is a critical hit.
- If you recover expended Adamantine Ammunition, you can recover all of your ammunition provided they are actually recoverable (not lost to the abyss, misplaced in another dimension, etc).
- A weapon forged from adamantine bypasses Damage Immunity or Resistance to its damage type when attacking Constructs.
Celesteel Weapons
An Aasimar, Cleric, or Paladin that attacks with a Weapon forged from Celesteel deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage whenever they hit a creature with it.
Cold Iron Armor
Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon
Cold Iron is a heavy bulky iron, that's freezing to the touch. Heavy Armor made of Cold Iron imposes a +2 to the Str score requirement.
This armor is anathema to Fey creatures, and it protects you from their attacks or charms. As long as you wear the armor, you are considered to be under the effects of Protection from Evil and Good, but you are only protected from Fey creatures.
Cold Iron Weapons
Melee weapons made from cold iron must already be metal-manufactured weapons, such as a dagger or arrow, but not say a quarterstaff or sling. Items made from cold iron weighs 1 and 1/2 times more than the weight of steel items.
- A weapon forged from cold iron loses the light or finesse property if it had it.
- A cold iron weapon gains a +2 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls when used to attack a Fey creature.
- A weapon forged from cold iron also bypasses Damage Immunity or Resistance of its damage type when attacking Fey or Fiend (Demons).
Mithral Armor
Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon
Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes.
If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn't.
Mithral Weapons
Melee weapons made from mithral tend to be lightweight, effectively used by more dextrous combatants. A weapon made from mithral weighs half as much as the same item made from other metals.
- A heavy weapon forged from mithral no longer has the heavy property.
- A weapon forged from mithral that isn't heavy now has the finesse and light properties.
- A thrown weapon doubles its short and long range, for example, a mithral dagger would have a range of 40/120 feet.
Silver Weapons
Some monsters that have immunity or Resistance to nonmagical Weapons may be susceptible to silver weapons, so cautious Adventurers invest extra coin to plate their weapons with silver. You can silver a single weapon or ten pieces of Ammunition for 100 gp.
Tinge of Silver
Potion, Uncommon
This mercury-like, silvery oil gleams with ethereal-cerulean veins. The oil can coat one weapon or up to 5 pieces of ammunition. Applying the tinge takes an action or bonus action. The coated item becomes silvered, as if becoming a silvered weapon.
