3.5 Enchant to bypass damage reduction...


Homebrew and House Rules


Hey Guys,

Not sure if im posting this in the correct area, but it seemed the closest...

Anyway my group dabbles in 3.5 alongside of Pathfinder, and I'm trying to track down an enchant that I believe was +3 to a weapon that would change the compound of the weapon to any metal you needed to bypass damage reduction (alchemist silver, adamantine, cold iron, etc). I BELIEVE it was called "Admixture" but any combination of googling of the words "enchant" "3.5" "D&D" "admixture" always brings up 4e stuff, or "arcane admixture" or "eldritch admixture" ... I MAY be wrong on the name of the enchant.

I've sifted through a good portion of my books and a few of my friends have a ton of other books, but I just wanted to see if anybody recollects this enchant and could tell me which book it's in.

Thanks in advance guys, this is making me crazy! lol

edit: I'll add, I am aware that pathfinder has changed how damage reduction works and now a +5 weapon will bypass all types, however I'm thinking more in line with a druid using an amulet of mighty fists - so he can have the +3<insert name of enchant here im looking for> , +2 holy then cast greater magic fang on myself.

Can't help you with the spell you're looking for, but I can help you narrow your Google search. ;)

When looking for words or phrases (words inside of quotes) add a prefix of "+" directly in front of the word or phrase (no spaces) to force Google to require that particular string as part of the page (normally it uses a ranking of each individual word).

When looking for words that you definitely do not want, add a prefix of "-" directly in front. Just like the "+", the hyphen means that the following string cannot appear in the page anywhere.

You might try searching for "+spell +admixture -4e" and since you think it's a 3.x spell, you can add a word or phrase from the spell header that doesn't occur often in normal text, such as +"casting time".

Good luck.


I believe the weapon enhancement you are looking for was called "Sure Striking" or something similar to that.

Nice! Thanks for teaching me the google hack :D

I found one in the magic item compendium which is quite potent , if anybody has it look up Transmuting (+2 weapon enchant)


With how DR works (with generic +'s standing in for special materials)
You may as well just get an adamantine +3 weapon and it will work the same and have the same + equivalence, but be more effective a weapon and be 2 steps closer to overcoming Alignment DR as well.

;) Was looking at something more adaptive for a Druid.

The enchantment was Shadow Striking, from the Shadow Magic chapter of Tome of Magic.
