So I have run into a couple of interesting questions regarding these weapons abilities.

Breaking
Shattering

So a couple of notes about breaking, would it apply to sunder even though combat maneuvers seem to target a creature rather than its gear? I always thought as much was the reason we use cmd instead of item ac.

Shattering - a few notes
Shattering does extra damage to objects when you crit.
But...

Immunities

Objects are immune to nonlethal damage and to critical hits.

So how does shattering work with inanimate objects?

Finally... if we agree that despite some fluidity questions that breaking damage would apply to the damage done during a sunder attempt. Would shatter apply to sunder attempts as well? If so this would be the first I have seen of a combat maneuver with the ability to crit.

Thank you in advance for your insight.

So I am having some trouble deciphering how Elysian Bronze work and decided I could use some help.

Quote: A weapon made of Elysian bronze adds a +1 bonus on weapon damage rolls against magical beasts and monstrous humanoids; this damage is multiplied on a critical hit. After a creature uses an Elysian bronze weapon to deal damage to a magical beast or monstrous humanoid, the wielder gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls against that specific creature type (for example, against chimeras, not all magical beasts) for the next 24 hours, or until the weapon deals damage to a different kind of magical beast or monstrous humanoid.

The question is how and if this is a stacking effect. So if I am stabbing a griffon (why... I really don't know as they are quite beautiful and majestic.) The first stab is +1/+1. Now that the weapon is attuned do I gain an additional +1/+1 against griffons until I attack another magical beast or monstrous humanoid for a total of +2/+2?

Or is it just that I don't get any bonuses from attacking other beasties until I hit them at which time the bonus transfers from griffins to Magical Flying Bronies

I know that this is going to sound out of place, but here goes.

I am playing my first ninja for PFS, Not asian...not wushu, Quaderian/Slaver...very fun!!

I would like to specialize in NL damage and would like to know if the wording of this feat was a mistake or was intentionally written to exclude the only other full class with Sneak Attack from being able to do precision damage with non-lethal weapons.

Bludgeoner (Combat)
You can knock foes out cold with just about any blunt instrument.

Benefit: You take no penalty on attack rolls for using a lethal bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal damage.

Normal: You take a –4 penalty on attack rolls when using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. You cannot use a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack.

Special: A rogue with this feat can use a lethal bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal damage with a sneak attack.
