Orc, Double Axe?

[Taknor]

Can a Orc Double Axe have one axe head a different material than the other (Adamantine, Mithral, Cold iron, silver)?

[Mergy]

I don't know how that would be possible, given that the axe heads are not priced separately. How would you pay for only one cold iron axehead, given that it's meant to double the base price of the weapon?

Enchanting or whatever ONE head of a double weapon is equivalent to doing whatever to a one handed weapon.

This. They can have separate enchantments, so they could be made of different metals, too.

Thanks for the replies.

How would you price a half cold iron double axe? If you don't have an answer, it's probably not allowed. They can have separate enhancements because the rules specifically note how to do that.

You just pay the price for the materials. One head is cold iron, the other can be adamantine, or whatever. You basically pay for 2 axes. They just share the same haft.

Cut the price in half and add the materials that way.

Cold Iron is 2x weapon cost, Mithril is 500gp/lb

What is the individual cost of one head of an Orc Double Axe?
What is the weight of a single head of an Orc Double Axe?

If you can’t answer this question based on some rules info, then it can’t be done in PFS.

Sure, you can come up with a reasonable answer as a GM in a home game. But this is organized play.

you can build a double weapon with each head made of a different special material.

Pricing is a little trickier. Some of the materials specify:

A double weapon with one cold iron half costs 50% more than normal.

One-handed weapon, or one head of a double weapon | +90 gp

But the rest don't. Good luck!

Yes. The two ends are completely separate for enchanting, materials, etc.

Creating magic double-headed weapons is treated as creating two weapons when determining cost, time, XP, and special abilities.-magic item chapter

However, you can build a double weapon with each head made of a different special material.

Under special materials in the equipment section

For PFS pricing its considered 2 seperate weapons for purposes of fame/prestige

For double weapons, calculate the cost of each end separately when considering Fame purchasing limits.
