D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] New weapon materials & Double-weapons

[RigaMortus]

I'm wondering if you can have a double weapon made from different materials on each "head"?

For example, a Two-Bladed Sword. One blade made of Cold Iron, the other made of Admantium.

If this is possible, it would (a) cut down on the golfbag of weapons and (b) make two-weapon fighting a more popular choice.

It would also make for a good character concept.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do this. A double sword (silly weapon) will probably not be made of one piece of metal.

Why making double weapons more popular though? It's the best choice for any TWF fighter anyways... costs less feats and allows for single attacks with 1.5 strength modifier... compared to two short swords easily more damage.

Alternatively, could one put multiple metals into a single blade? Either an alloy, or perhaps winding a wire of silver, a wire of adamantine, etc. around an iron strip before it's forged into a blade?

Is this ploy addressed in the 3.5 rules?

(Apologies if this has already been discussed. I've been ignoring most of the 3.5 threads, since info is incomplete.)

Wield a war pitchfork with different material tines.

I don't know if the rules will address this, but I (as the dm) would just do a fraction of the damage with such a weapon.

I think that's called a "trident".

 

[Hypersmurf]

Or a spiked chain with each link a different material...

Or just throw shuriken, each made of a different kind of metal, by the bucketful (Remember to put the snails out, first!)

Time to make a Telekinetic Thruster

The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art by ST Cooley Publishing has rules for making objects with 2 subtances (called "Comingled"). The weapon gets full benefits of each component.

I highly recommend the work: http://www.cooleys.org/publishing
