I am sure this has already been asked and answered before, but i dont see it, so ....
I actually have 2 questions and the first contains a possible spoiler for Second Darkness:
spoiler:
In Children of the Void the PC's have a chance to collect the skymetal called Noqual. It says they at times can collect 5 pounds of the ore, or 15 pounds of the ore. My question is, how many pounds of the Noqual does it take to make items such as weapons and armor? I dont see anywhere that it states that. I also cannot find anywhere that states how many pounds of other material it takes, such as normal metal or adamantine to make items. Does it take the same amount of weight no matter the item? I mean does one pound of Noqual make a weapon and 3 pounds good enough for armor? And would the same hold true for cold iron? one pound of cold iron ore for weapons and 3 for armor? Or would it be 2 pounds for a weapon and 5 for armor? Ok, so thats alot of questions, but i hope it makes sense, as i have been wondering this for awhile.
Next question is related to the above one. In the description of special materials, it usually states something along the lines of "40 hp per inch of thickness". How is that information useful if most items do not state how thick they are? Normally only doors and walls are stated the thickness that i have seen.
In the equipment listings it says how much an item weighs: 30 lbs for a breastplate, 6 lbs for a battleaxe etc.

Yeah, I know that, but that is the completed items weight, not the weight of the ore that goes into the construction.
