Dwarvish Steel is an alloy between steel,
gold, and minute quantities of White Mithril.
Dwarvish Steel is the steel made most
commonly by dwarves. It usually contains
gold in the alloy but periodically contains
another precious metal, such as silver,
instead. It is golden in appearance, and is
often traded with humans for other goods as
it is well crafted and not very rare, all things
considered. The dwarves are proud of it
nevertheless, and only accept top prices for
it because it is "part of their blood"
Dark Steel
Cost: 10 x
Weight: .08 x
AC: -1
Magic: +3
Attack: Normal
Damage: +1
Init: -1
Dark Steel is used in the Underdark, and is
not stable in sunlight.
Dark Steel is an enhanced steel alloy with a
small amount of adamantium and
radioactive materials. The steel performs
well underground, but must save vs
disintegration every day it is exposed to
sunlight. Failure means that the weapon is
permanently rendered useless and will break
into small fragments when next struck with
force. This happens because the radioactive
materials' half-lives are significantly
reduced when exposed to UV radiation, and
therefore can no longer act as a bonding
agent between the adamantium and ordinary
steel.
Abyssimal Red Steel
Cost: 400 x
Weight: .40 x
AC: -1
Magic: +2
Attack: +2

This metal is very similar to Green Steel, but
is a little more scarce (counts as Rare). It is
also a standard armament in the Blood War
is it acts just the same as Green Steel with
regard to the creatures it may harm. Items of
Red Steel weigh 40% less and cost 400x
more. Weapons gain +2 hit, -1 bonus to

Baatorian Green Steel
Cost: 300 x
Weight: .40 x
AC: -1
Magic: +2
Attack: +1
Damage: +1d2
Init: -1
This is the first of the purely Planar metals
that is common used for armor and weapons.
While it is the most common of the better
metals, it is considered an Uncommon find.
It is used in the Blood War not only because
it is far superior to normal steel, but it can
also strike any planar creature, regardless of
magical restrictions.
Items made of Green Steel weigh 40% less
and cost 300x more than normal. Weapons
gain +1 to hit, -1 bonus to speed, and do 1d2
MORE damage; Armor gains a +2 bonus.
All items also have a +2 to saves and can
strike all creatures of +2 enchancement.
Forest Steel
Cost: 40 x
Weight: 0.75 x
AC: -1
Magic: +2/+4 Druids Only
Attack: Normal
Damage: Normal
Init: -1
Forest Steel is a peculiar blend of ordinary
steel and the wood that makes up the trees in
the Forest of Eternal Trees on Arborea.
It is favored in situations where one expects
to travel around numerous animals - for,
when in plain sight, this dark green marbled
steel invokes friendship amongst natural
plants and animals. For game purposes,
adjust the reaction modifier by two for each
clearly visible item made from Forest Steel.
Of course, there is a drawback as well - for
some reason, all attacks against natural
plants and animals automatically miss.
When being enchanted, it has only a +2
capability - unless a druid is enchanting. In
such cases, it can hold a +4 level
enchantment.

made from Forest Steel versus fire; the save
is ade at a -2 penalty.
Meteoric Steel
Cost: 150 x
Weight: .5 x
AC: -2
Magic: +3
Attack: Normal
Damage: +2
Init: -3
Meteoric Steel is found exclusively in rare
pockets of the Prime Material Plane.
Meteoric Steel is almost impossible to find.
It is without a doubt one of the best metals
available in the Prime Material Plane. It is
capable of the most powerful enchantments,
it is light, it is sturdy, and it is never left in
favor of another treasure. Meteoric Steel is
very difficult to work, but with the right
tools and a flame rivaling elemental heat, it
is very rewarding.

Mithril
Black Mithril
Cost: 20 x
Weight: 0.7 x
AC: -1
Magic: +4
Attack: Normal
Damage: +1
Init: -2
The alloy of White Mithril and small
quanities of Adamantium forms a substance
known as Black Mithril.
Created almost exclusively by dwarves, this
substance is slightly sturdier and weighs
slightly less than White Mithril. Most
importantly, it can hold a higher level of
enchantment than White Mithril, without
needing large quantities of Adamantium. For
this reason, wizards frequently seek out
small quantities of Black Mithril for small
magic items such as rings, amulets, and
sometimes even wands.
White Mithril is an excellent armor made
primarily by dwarves.
White Mithril is solid, glowing white in
color. While it emits no light naturally, it
can hold light- and sun- based spells without
limiting its enchantment levels. It is made by
dwarves in fairly deep tunnels, where it must
be heated by geothermal furnaces to be
forged. It is somewhat rare and prized by
paladins, who love the solid white glow
mixed with the good level of enchantment it
can possess.

Other Metals
Celestium
Cost: 150 x
Weight: .75 x
AC: -3
Magic: +4
Attack: Normal
Damage: Normal
Init: -2
Celestium is the metal native to Mount
Celestia, the plane of law and good.
Celestium is found only on the outer plane
of Mount Celestia in its native ore form.
Once refined, it is a powerful compound.
Though preferred construction lies in armor,
due to its defensive nature, weapons of
Celestium can be found periodically. The
metal itself is bluish-white marble in
appearance. Quite enchantable, most
weapons made of this metal are enchanted
somehow to make up for their offensive
deficiencies. Non-good beings possessing
this metal can expect to be sought out for
questioning by powerful forces of good.
Dwarven Blackrock
Cost: 1000 x
Weight: .5 x
AC: -4
Magic: +4
Attack: +3
Damage: +1d4
Init: -1
Dwarven Blackrock is found only in the
very depths of the Dwarven Mountain in the
Outlands and Mt. Clenedaggen in Aracadia.
Like the other planar metals, it can harm any
planar creature.
Items made of this VERY VERY RARE
metal weigh 50% less and cost 1000x
normal Steel. Weapons gain +3 to hit, -1
bonus to speed, and do 1d4 MORE damage;
Armor gains a +4 bonus. Objects gain +4 to
all saves and can strike +4 magically
protected creatures.
Ellician Diamond
Cost: 2500 x
Weight: .75 x
AC: Normal
Magic: +5
Attack: Normal
Damage: +4
Init: -1
Ellician Diamond can be created only at the
base of the Great Spire, in the Outlands.
This metal is an alloy between diamond and
adamantite (stronger raw material form of
adamantium), heavy on the diamond. There
are possibly more ingredients, unknown of
at this time. This alloy creates a substance
that is incredibly sharp and incredibly
difficult to bend. For this reason, no armor
can be made of Ellician Diamond. This
material is enchantable to quite a degree,
and is valued by magical weaponmakers
everywhere on the planes. One of the most
popular enchantments for this weapon is for
it to be given the properties of a dimensional
blade -- a process this metal seems to take
very easily. When imbued with a
dimensional blade spell along with
permanency, this metal takes on an
interesting additional property - it will return
to the casters hand when thrown, perfectly,
every time.
Illithium
Cost: 175 x
Weight: .75 x
AC: -1
Magic: +1
Attack: Normal
Damage: Normal
Init: -2
Illithium is a rare metal worn and used by
the illithid and ullitharid on certain
occasions.
Illithium is often used as a form of armor by
the elusive illithid and their royal
counterparts for one very obvious reason:
the armor does not hinder psionic activity.
The armor can, in fact store up to 250 Psp's.
Thankfully for most citizens of the
multiverse, this metal is extremely rare. In
appearance, the metal is a dark steel gray
that is matter - so light does not reflect well
off of it. This makes the wearer of the metal
even more difficult to see. Due to limited
quantities, the illithid will usually only wear
such armor when acting as a leader of a
larger group, so there is less of a chance of
losing the powerful metallic armor.
Mechanium
Cost: 200 x
Weight: 1.25 x
AC: -1
Magic: +3
Attack: Normal
Damage: +1
Init: Normal
Mechanium is the metal native to and rarely
found even on, Mechanus - Plane of
Ultimate Law.
Mechanium is found only on Mechanus. It is
essentially a steel composed of tiny gears
and machinery - so tiny that no one can see
without special help. These gears provide
decent defensive and offensive bonuses - but
more important is their ability to overcome
damage. Unless completely disintegrated,
the machinery will repair itself. To represent
this, re-roll any damaging save throw once
every hour. When it is successful, the metal
has fully repaired itself of that damage. For
this reason, Mechanium is normally found in
objects other than weapons or armor.
Be aware, the modrons of Mechanus are
very protective of the sources of this metal.
They consider it alive. Is it?
Neutralite
Cost: Unpurchasable
Weight: Normal
AC: Normal
Magic: +0
Attack: Normal
Damage: None
Init: Normal
Neutralite is a decidedly unique metal used
mostly by diplomats.
Neutralite appears to be normal steel. Most
wish it was. Neutralite holds the force of
neutrality within it, which is a curse to most
planewalkers as we know their desire for
violence. Neutralite in any amount on a
person has two effects: The owner can
neither cause damage nor take damage in
combat. The owner can hack away at an
enemy all day and never seem to pierce their
skin - and vice versa as well. The same
holds true for magical attacks. Even
creativity is not awarded - causing a
rockslide on one's enemies will simply result
in a large number of rocks to bounce off the
now protected opponent. It isn't known
exactly where this metal comes from,
although the Outlands are strongly
suspected. As such, no mines have ever been
located and no raw supply of this metal has
ever been found. Perhaps items of this
substance are an extension of Concordant
Opposition itself. Perhaps.
