Cold Iron trait is a weapon trait in Owlcat Pathfinder Games.
Description[]
- This iron, mined deep underground and known for its effectiveness against demons and fey creatures, is forged at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate properties.
Effects[]
Cold iron does not give any damage-related or accuracy-related bonuses, but allows attacks made with the weapon to bypass some creatures' damage reduction. For example, if a creature has DR 10/Cold Iron, then all the damage received by that creature is reduced by 10 per hit, unless it is dealt with a Cold Iron weapon.
Some creatures, such as the Crag Linnorm, have regeneration that can only be stopped by dealing damage with a Cold Iron weapon. Such creatures cannot be killed with ordinary weapons and only falls unconscious. The final blow must be done with either a Cold Iron weapon or the Coup de Grace ability.
Weapons with +3 enchantment or higher also count as Cold Iron[1] against damage reduction, but don't stop regeneration.
