Special note: The fact that a weapon is silvered does not have any affect on Vampires in D&D 5e. If you hit a vampire with a silvered weapon, it will do half damage as would all other non-magical weapons, due to their resistance.
Can you silver a pact weapon?
No, it’s just the base weapon with no additional properties. So Silvered or Adamantine versions of weapons, which have no printed listings, can’t be used. That being said, the pact weapon is considered “magical”, so the benefit of being silvered is mostly moot.
Can you use adamantine armor on a golem?
Xanathar’s Guide includes new coverage of adamantine weapons (they auto-crit against objects). Adamantine Armor is magical, but weapons made of adamantine are not necessarily magical. An adamantine weapon can bypass a golem’s damage immunity in the same way as a magic weapon. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
Can you use adamantine as a magical weapon?
Adamantine is a material and not inherently “magical”, you could have, for instance, a +1 adamantine longsword. This resistance means that either a magical weapon or an adamantine weapon deals normal damage, it does not need to be both. Xanathar’s Guide includes new coverage of adamantine weapons (they auto-crit against objects).
What’s the difference between adamantine and regular ammunition?
Whenever an adamantine weapon or piece of ammunition hits an object, the hit is a critical hit. The adamantine version of a melee weapon or of ten pieces of ammunition costs 500 gp more than the normal version, whether the weapon or ammunition is made of the metal or coated with it.
Is the adamantine armor worth the 500GP?
Adamantine weapons are rare. Few consider them worth the 500gp cost. But adamantine armor is well worth it. No more crits on you! I think you mean hit that door so hard it instantly atomised, giving it the illusion of being an illusion.
