Cold Iron
Material 2+
Source Player Core pg. 278
Weapons and ammunition made of cold iron bypass resistances and trigger weakness to cold iron on creatures such as demons, fey, and certain Rift‑tainted or planar entities.
Weapons & Ammo:
Treat cold iron as a precious material template for metal melee weapons and metal‑tipped ammunition.
Armor & Shields:
Cold iron armor and shields use the same AC and traits as the base item but increase Hardness and HP by a small step over standard steel for their grade.
Structures:
Bulkheads, warding rings, or “cold bands” built into a hull count as cold iron for the purpose of planar bleed phenomena, fey/demon infiltration, or certain ritual effects.
