Lead-lined scabbard weight?

[Archonus1]

My character is a gnome. Bought reinforced viridium gladius. Need lead-lined scabbard. Price is trivial, but issue is weight. Any ideas?

Not answer; instead, question. Unfamiliar with viridium. Ordinarily all parts sword radiate magic, so lead-lined scabbard not grant immunity detect magic. Lead is for different purpose? Hope not radioactive. Hip bad place for tumor!

No. Viridium causes leprosy on successful hit with failed Fort throw, but must be kept in lead-lined scabbard to protect wielder :)

Lincoln hills: a paizo or google search could answer your question.

I don't think lead is defined in the rules. But since its just a lead lining I wouldn't make it weigh much more, maybe 1 pound.

Gotcha. My usual "market price" for lead has been that it's roughly equal to copper in value. As to weight, lead is a metal that's happy to be pounded into a thin foil, so I side with GeneticDrift that - although a pound of lead is a surprisingly small ingot - you'd only need a pound's worth of thin foil. Costwise I'd say something like 5 gp or less (largely due to the cost of labor) would do it.

Again Goggle is your friend.

Here's one of the sites I found when looking around for the weight of both granite and lead when considering the weight of "Lead Box" in another thread. A square foot sheet only 1mm thick weighs in around 2.3 lbs. But maybe your GM will say the sheet only needs to be 0.01mm thick etc..
