hp and hardness on items for purposes of sunder


Rules Questions


How do I determine the hp and hardness of items for sunder? I want to know for spell pouches and holy symbols specifically in order to cripple casters.

The "Additional Rules" chapter of the CRB has a chart of hardness/HP for various materials.

Leather (the most likely for a pouch) is hardness 2 with 5HP/inch.

Wood (for cheap holy symbols) is hardness 5 with 10HP/inch.

Silver (for spiffy holy symbols) is not listed there, but over in Special Materials in the Equipment chapter it's hardness 8 with 10HP/inch.


Eggcellent! I will make something to quickly reference items I plan to attack often so things may be quickly done in game.thanks


Damaging Objects has all kinds of rules on the topic, including AC modifiers based on size and hitpoints for various materials.
