<p>That said, I don't get the feeling the GM is adversarial. I think it's more likely he just isn't reading the full text of the encounters and thus we've just ended up unable to retreat from some things. Unsure where the shutting door thing would've came from tho.</p>
<p>As for the golem critting, we use a VTT for play and he rolls openly on it, so he was in fact just rolling very high.</p>
<p>I really appreciate y'all weighing in on this and I think I'll show him this thread so he realizes where some of the frustration of the party has come from.</p>

I've been playing through Abomination Vaults with a new group and we're having some serious issues with the difficulty of some encounters. </p>
<p>So far we've TPK'd twice:</p>
<p>- Once to some Blood Haunt at level 1 on the first floor that is at the bottom of the lighthouse stairs. It went first and immediately crit half our party dropping them to dying. Also the doors shut themselves when the encounter started, so the rest of us were unable to drag our teammates to safety, resulting in us all dying.</p>
<p>- The 2nd TPK was to the wood golem on floor 3. It used its splinter volley to hit all 4 of us at once and was critting us about 50% of the time. We tried to run away thinking that maybe it only guarded the room, but it followed us out into the hall and killed us all.</p>

<p>No—unless an ability specifically says it stacks with similar abilities (such as an assassin's sneak attack), or adds in some way based on the character's total class levels (such as improved uncanny dodge), the abilities don't stack <b>and you have to use them separately</b>.

<p>Lets say you were a unrogue 1/slayer 3/wizard 3, you would have two instances of sneak attack 1d6. If you attacked a target and met the requirements for applying sneak attack, you would deal 2 instances of +1d6 precision damage or 2d6 overall. However, since neither class grants you 2d6 sneak attack, you would not qualify for arcane trickster, since you only have 1d6 sneak attack. </blockquote><p>This is incorrect. If that were the case then we would not need the wording to say that it stacked to begin with as 2d6 SA and 1d6+1d6 are the same. If it was intended only to make a difference for prerequisites then it would say as much. As is, there is literally no mention of prerequisites in that FAQ.willuwontu wrote:Reposting the FAQ

For instance, a wooden shield (Hardness 3) that takes 10 damage would take 2 Dents. A typical item can take only 1 Dent without becoming broken. A second Dent causes it to become broken, though it can still be repaired. An item that would take a Dent or become broken while already broken is destroyed beyond salvage. Some magical or especially sturdy items can take more than 1 Dent before becoming broken, as noted in their descriptions.</blockquote><p>So there appear to be 2 equally common interpretations of the rules for items taking damage and the text is vague enough that either could be correct.
<p><b>Position 1:</b> An item takes a dent if the total damage <i><b>before</i></b> subtracting hardness matches or goes past it's hardness.</p>
<p>Example: A fighter hits a wooden door for 11 points of damage. It is reduced by the hardness (10) to 1 point of damage, denting the door.</p>
<p><b>Position 2:</b> An item takes a dent if the total damage <i><b>after</i></b> subtracting hardness is equal to or greater than the objects hardness.</p>
<p>Example: A fighter hits a wooden door for 11 points of damage. It is reduced by the hardness (10) to 1 point of damage, which does not dent the door because the damage actually given is not "equal to or exceeding the item's hardness" of 10.</p>
<p>This has come up in multiple threads and is especially important for how shields work. The sooner this gets a clarification the better.</p>

<p>For one, the DC to break open a locked door is equal to the unlock Thievery DC+5 which just doesn't make sense. Regardless of how fancy of a lock you put on a wooden door, it's still a wooden door. The DC absolutely should not be based on the Thievery DC at all, but the size and type of material of the door.</p>
<p>However, this page also held something perhaps even stranger. It also provides DCs for climbing up walls of various materials, and they absolutely do not seem to match up with the CRB. On page 338 of the CRB we can see that climbing a cliff is a level 2 activity, which when we check the DC chart makes it DC 15. Now the bestiary puts climbing wood slats as a level 5 activity which is a whopping DC 21 and is harder than climbing a Masonry Wall apparently. Something is definitely wrong when climbing wood slats is significantly harder than climbing a cliffside and even slightly harder than a masonry wall.</p>
<p>Overall, it seems that quite a few of these DCs were decided without it being considered whether they logically made sense. I think it would definitely be a step in the right direction to revisit these rules and change the Break DC for doors to not be based on Thievery, and make the climb DCs more sensical for what surface you're climbing.</p>So when my group first ran the playtest we couldn't find any rules or guidelines on the DC to break down doors in the CRB, but I just recently managed to find it on Page 7 of the Bestiary of all places.
