Silver Ammunition

[Shar Tahl]

It says +2gp. is that per unit or per bunch?

[Tanis]

It would have to be per unit, it's always been like that. Don't know why it doesn't say 'per missile' like adamantine tho.

[Fatespinner]

I'm pretty sure its per bunch, actually. 2gp is equal to 20sp. The amount of material in 20 silver pieces is probably enough for 20 silver arrowheads, with a little left over for labor overhead. 2gp per arrow seems excessive, especially when you consider the fact that it would be 40gp for 20 arrows... double the cost it would take to make a silver shortsword.

Going by the adamantine table:
Ammunition = 60gp
Weapon =3000gp
=3000/60 = 50 or .02%

Silver
Ammunition = 2gp
Weapon =90gp
=90/2 = 45 or .18%

That's pretty close to me.

Yeah, but the adamantine table doesn't care if you're making a dagger or a greatsword. It's base price +3000gp regardless (which, by the way, is absurd). With the silver, the weapon's size matters.

Agreed, it is totally absurd. Still, it's approx. right, i think.

Per unit, like masterwork.

It is not 'silver' from a bunch of molten coins (and all the impurities and other metals) it is pure alchemical silver.

Technically I think it is 41 gp (40 PLUS ONE GP) for 20 arrows. It's PLUS 2 gp/unit. You still need to buy the original 20 arrows (for 1 gp). Technically.

Or, each individual arrow costs 2.05 gp. Technically.

so, it's guesswork? marvelous (sarcasm intended)
