Construct Bane vs mundane objects


Rules Questions


I know about Adamantine weapons and the sunder feats that raise CMB checks to sunder but I would specifically like to know if a Construct Bane enhancement on a weapon will add an extra 2d6 to sunder an enemies items. The 2d6 bonus damage may not be the most optimized build for sundering but I have not see any rule that says this would not work.


Only if it's an animated item or other object that counts as a construct.


Items don't have creature types(hence they can't be constructs). If you can find a way to make items into creatures before sundering them then it will work.


Animated Objects. You can cast Animate Object on a target item and it becomes an Animated Object creature; a construct. It also follows your commands so you could animate someone's weapon and, as it's attacking them, you can try to sunder it and it counts as a construct so benefit from Bane(Construct).
