Good evening,
Recently I am playing the Iron Gods adventure path. I'm playing a Magus and start fighting robots now. So some doubts about hardness came to my mind.
The first one is that robots are vulnerable to electricity. When I read about hardnes I read that some elements may bypass this hardnes, but that was in animated objects hardnes rule. So does this apply? Is is at GM will?
The other thing was that I made an attack with my weapon having loaded a shocking grasp first. So I deal physical damage and electricity damage in the same attack, my surprise was when my GM told me that hardnes applies to each of the damages so a hardnes 10 would reduce 10 from physical damage and 10 from the electricity damage. So I did no damage at all. I was shocked because I couldn't do anything then. My question is, where can I find the rule that says that hardnes applies to all damage types even when they are part of the same attack?.
Thanks all.
