[3.x] Special metals in D&D
« on: November 10, 2012, 04:02:34 PM »
Does anybody know or have handy a list of all available metals in D&D?

In my last table my group, while in a recess, got into a very non incidental discussion about magical and non magical metals in D&D. The conversation started with a player mentioning adamantium, which I know doesn't exist in the D&D universe. That would be the metal used in the creation of Marvel's Wolverine body armor and claws. In D&D, the closest named metal would be adamantine instead.

Mythril (mythral?) and obdurium also were mentioned. As the DM, I was also interested to know if any of those metals can be mined outright as an ore or if some (or all) of them are in fact alliages of other metals. Which ones are magical in nature and which ones are not, too.
