Editing Silver (section)

==Dungeons & Dragons==
Like many RPGs, D&D uses silver as a currency worth 1/10th gold. Since adventurers make so much money, you’ll rarely bother with it after character creation. More importantly, many monsters are resistant to attacks not made with silver weapons. In 3rd edition, a weapon can be made of a magical silver alloy for an extra cost of 20GP (for a light weapon) to 90GP (everything else metal) and approximates silver’s softness by reducing the damage such a weapon does by 1. In 5E this costs a massive 100GP, but gold in 5E is mostly useless past character creation anyways since there’s nothing to buy, and has no further penalty. Ignore such weapons at your own peril, as inability to bypass such damage reduction is a major killer of low level characters.
