I had a disagreement with my GM last night and thought I would run it by the smarter-than-me people here.
Mithril Chain gives Hardness 15 and Stoneskin gives DR 10/Adamantine. My argument is that the chain would reduce the first 15 points of weapon damage before any remaining damage would be applied to the stoneskin. My GM argues that Stoneskin trumps the chain.
Who is right?
Um... unless I'm missing something, Mithral Chain doesn't give YOU hardness. All Mithral Chain (or any armor, for that matter) does is increase your AC. Hardness only comes into play when someone attacks an object (such as if someone tries to sunder your weapon).
hardness only applies to sunder attacks and stone skin only applies to attacks against you, they never interact

Ok. Thanks. That makes more sense.
If someone is trying to sunder the armour, damage should come off the spell first. I believe your gear generally benefits from spells active on you.
I don't think so. A sword doesn't normally gain hardness if you cast stoneskin.
