Just looking at sundering and some special materials and had some questions... in particular alchemical silver items.
Alchemical silver has 8 hardness and 10 hp per inch of thickness.
Iron / Steel has 10 hardness and 30 hp per inch of thickness.
Does this mean that alchemical silver weapons would have harness 8 and 1/3 the hp of a normal weapon made of steel?
I.e. Normal longsword has 10 hardness and 5 hit points (1 handed blade's stats.) While one made of silver would have hardness 8 and 2 hp (rounded up?) Even further, a great sword with 10 hardness and 10 hp, vs silver great sword at 8 hardness and 3 hp (!!!!!)
Thanks guys!
As per the description, alchemical silver is poured over a steel weapon, so if it's a weapon specifically, I'd go with steel's stats.
I think the alchemical silver stats would be for an actual chunk of alchemical silver.
Oops. Missed that part *sigh*
Thanks so much.
