Alright, sound striker bards get this...

Wordstrike (Su): At 3rd level, the sound striker bard can spend 1 round of bardic performance as a standard action to direct a burst of sonically charged words at a creature or object. This performance deals 1d4 points of damage plus the bard’s level to an object, or half this damage to a living creature.

From the way it's worded, there is no attack role, and it appears you can use it on ANY object. Such as an attended, held item, like a wand, ring, headband, etc. These are all expensive, powerful fragile magic items. Can you use word-strike to sunder equipment? It doesn't seem to say you CAN'T, but that seems very powerful.


You still have to get through the hardness to do anything, and magic items get a saving throw. It can be useful for things like spell component pouches, but you have to be at a pretty high bard level to break much else.
