Aging touch states that if used against a construct or object, it deals 1d6 damage per oracle level. Is it safe to say that this damage does not bypass DR or object hardness?

This thing all things devours.

At 1d6 per caster level, it probably doesn't need to bypass hardness, but it's worth a FAQ. As this is an ability directly intended to affect objects, damage is not halved for them. It bypasses construct DR as it is not weapon-like damage, and magic immunity as it is a supernatural ability not subject to spell resistance.


RAW, dunno. RAI i'd have to assume it would bypass... alot of things have about 5 hardness...

Damage Reduction (Ex or Su)

A creature with this special quality ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective). The creature takes normal damage from energy attacks (even nonmagical ones), spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. A certain kind of weapon can sometimes damage the creature normally, as noted below.

I would say that since Aging Touch is a supernatural ability, given the above description of DR, that it bypasses
