Obsidian: The chief advantage of obsidian is that it can be sharpened to a razor’s edge and will hold that edge, without need of sharpening, indefinitely. The chief disadvantage of obsidian is that it is relatively fragile in comparison and also much more rare, making it an expensive material. Used most commonly by barbarian warriors who dwell in badlands and mountainous regions, it also sees use among barbarian tribes who appreciate the keen edge obsidian weapons can hold.
Base Cost: Obsidian weapons cost 125% more than normal, steel weapons.
Weight: Obsidian weapons weigh only 75% of their steel counterparts.
Attacks: Obsidian holds a razor edge. A piercing or slashing weapon made of obsidian gains a +1, non-magical bonus to attack rolls.
Damage: An obsidian weapon deals the same damage as its steel counterpart.
Hardness: Obsidian weapons are fragile, with one less point of hardness than steel weapons.
Hit Points: Obsidian shatters easily. An obsidian weapon has 75% of the hit points of a steel weapon.
