Anyone have ideas for DR and HT stats on diamond?
One of my players wants a "body of stone" that is essentially diamond hard. Can't find stats for diamond. Anyone?

HP is just a matter of mass, it's a Homogeneous object so 8 x cube root of weight in pounds. A human has a volume of 70,000 cubic cm. Diamond has a density of 3.5g per cubic cm. So a human made of diamond weighs 542lb which comes to 60HP, but remember diamond will also have the Fragile disadvantage. Not sure about DR but probably not that much greater than glass maybe DR6 or so for the thickness of a human. |

In any case, what a Body of (whatever) is made of is something of a special effect - you pay the cost for whatever DR, HP and HT you actually have, so you can just pick something and call any variation from what you might expect out of an ideal (whatever) a consequence of the joints, or the magic that holds the body together or your choice of technobabble.

In that case, Body Of Stone with doubled DR might be appropriate, depending on cinematic-ness. (Reducing HP is also generally bad for PCs.)
