3.5 Glassteal?


3.5/d20/OGL


A coworker of mine swears he remembers seeing it, but neither of us can find it in any of the books we have (other than the 2 & 3.0 Editions). Anyone out there know if there is an updated version for 3.5? Thanks!


where did you find it in 3e .and if u did just use it or change it to fit 3.5. i still used 3e spells.or u could convert it from 2e shouldnt be hard

I put glassteal into Races of Faerun to help support the Avariel elves... not sure if it got picked up later in a 3.5 book, but it should still work fine in its 3.0 incarnation.


ok hell im gonna try a fast and lose 2e conversion

Yep, that’s the version we’re using now, but he is convinced he came across an updated version, and that it was something of a letdown compared to the original. The search continues!

This place is like a hotline to the other side, I love it. ;)


ok guys all i can find is glassteel under special material p.158 though i do like hardness 20 and 40 hp a level makes it worthwhiles as an 8th level spell. so is this what yall spoke of?


Found it! I managed to spell it incorrectly (steel vs. steal), but regardless, the new version is in Champions of Valor. Thanks all.

There's another version (and I believe it's OGC) in Goodman Games/Judges Guild's Dark Tower module, if you're looking for open content


There's also a version in the excellent Eldritch Sorcery from Necromancer Games. Along with a bunch of new spells written for that volume (paper tigers, yeah!).


Found another one: City of Freeport.
