Magic item hardness and hitpoints?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

I'm not the most observant chap, so I may be missing something obvious (or may be overlooking a general rule that's listed elsewhere), but I can't find any mention of hardness or hitpoints under the magic weapon or magic armor sections. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

This may be something that's just not in the SRD, as the magic item overview mentions a hardness/HP entry for specific magic items, but I can't seem to find any items that actually have that entry.

It's in chapter 7 "Additional Rules". In the Smashing and object Section...

Pathfinder Core Rulebook, page 174 wrote:


Magic Armor, Shields, and Weapons: Each +1 of enhancement
bonus adds 2 to the hardness of armor, a weapon, or a
shield, and +10 to the item’s hit points.

Thank you, I knew I'd seen that darned rule somewhere.


What if it is a Wondrous item?

From an earlier thread, it seems random wondrous items are as easy to destroy as their nonmagic counterparts.

Quote:
Magic items, unless otherwise noted, take damage as nonmagical items of the same sort. A damaged magic item continues to function, but if it is destroyed, all its magical power is lost. Magic items that take damage in excess of half their total hit points, but not more than their total hit points, gain the broken condition, and might not function properly.
