This was the first metal used to make armor and weapons. It has some drawbacks that caused it to be replaced by steel. However, there are times when are fighting a creature that is vulnerable to this metal, thus a small number of weapons are still crafted from it. Although Iron doesn't cost any more than Steel (1x), it weighs 25% more and can rust if not carefully maintained. Weapons suffer a +1 penalty to weapon speed.
