Sunder vs. natural attacks


Rules Questions


2 people marked this as FAQ candidate. 1 person marked this as a favorite.

In the page 468 of the Core Rulebook the text about Damaging Magic weapons say: An attacker cannot damage a magic weapon that has an enhancement bonus unless his weapon has at least as high an enhancement bonus as the weapon struck. then how i can with a monster natural attack sunder a magic weapon without using magics like magic fang or other things that give the natural weapon some enhancement bonus? In the page 299 of the Bestiary say that a monster treats his natural weapon as the same of his DR (ex: monster with DR/magic = natural attacks magic to overcomes DR) can be applied to resolve my problem, to sunder magic weapon with high enhancement bonus i use the reverse of the table on page 562 of the Core Rulebook or thare is rule about CR or HD to a monster can sunder a magic weapon?
Thanks for the help and sorry english mistake.

That makes sense to me.

DR/magic = +1
DR/silver or cold iron = +3
DR/adamantine = +4
DR/alignment = +5

I don't know of a rule that changes this by CR or HD.


This is a question that paizo team should look for.

there are big CR monsters that have sunder and use it with natural attacks. (like earth elemental).

there is a obviously missing rule here... please, fix it.

They can still sunder armor, magic items, and other held items.


Errata!

Page 468-In the Weapons Section, delete the Damaging Magic Weapons paragraph. Add the following paragraph in its place:
Hardness and Hit Points: Each +1 of a magic weapon's enhancement bonus adds +2 to its hardness and +10 to its hit points. See also Table 7–12 on page 175.


I suggest monsters should be able to damage any weapon with enhancement bonus no higher than 1/3 of his CR or HD.

Destroying armors cool, other magic itens too. thanks for remembering me of that.
