What is the cost of an Adamantine Crowbar?


Rules Questions

Shadow Lodge

The titles pretty self explanatory but as it stands their isn't a written cost for non weapon or armor items made of adamantine. The closest I can find is the adamantine wire saw which is about 130-145 gp over the cost of the original.

well I notice that a mithril frying pan or pot seems to be priced as a light armour, but pricing it as a light weapon seems more reasonable. 3002gp

The skillet is priced at 500 gp per pound of the object rather than the price of a weapon made of mithral. Unfortunately they mispriced it as well, using the items weight after crafting it of mithral rather than it's original weight.


As the crowbar can be treated as a light improvised weapon doing damage as a club of a similar size I'd guess it would be the same price as a light weapon.


For whatever it's worth, a PFS scenario has one on its corresponding cert. It costs 3002 gp and grants a +4 bonus to pry open/apart things.

Wow really? What scenario gives you an adamantine crowbar?

If memory serves, it was Scenario 4-03, "The Golemworks Incident".

Pricing it by the weight of the mithral used makes perfect sense. If you duplicate (numbers picked out of thin air) a 10 pound cast iron frying pan using 5 pounds of silver you'd pay for 5 pounds of silver plus a bit for craftsmanship.

There is an FAQ about mithral items. The cost of a mithral item is based on the weight of the normal object.

Huh. Doesn't make sense, but it's a rule. OK.

It is so you can't make masterwork mithral weapons for less than masterwork steel weapons.

While RAW, it definitely isn't RAI.

In the thread discussing that FAQ, the developers noted that corner cases like this might still crop up and that was just going to happen. So while the developers may not be happy with the rule (but left it in place for sake of simplicity) that doesn't mean that it isn't working as intended. Small daggers for less than masterwork price is definitely intended to happen in the current rules.
