Player > Weapons > Special Materials
Some weapons can be crafted using materials that have innate
special properties. Only cartridges of ammunition and melee
weapons that deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage
can be made out of special materials. If you make a weapon out
of more than one special material, you get the benefit of only
the most prevalent material.
Each of the special materials described below has a defined
game effect. Some creatures have damage reduction making
them resistant to all but a special type of damage (such as that
dealt by evil-aligned weapons) or damage from weapons of a
particular material (such as cold iron). Characters may choose
to carry several different types of weapons, depending on the
types of creatures they most commonly encounter.
Each special material has specific properties and effects.
Normally weapons and ammunition without metal parts can’t
be made from most of these materials, a weapon that deals
only energy damage doesn’t usually benefit from being made
of such a material, and any device can only benefit from a
single special material.
