So where in the book are the hardness values for Shields explicitly stated?
Why are the forums stating that Light steel Shield has a hardness of 5?
This leads me to ask, Is there a heavy steel shield?
p. 177 right below the materials section. It says steel shields have a hardness of 5 so it looks like light vs heavy changes the AC bonus but not the hardness.
I see thanks. I also see this back on page 354...
HARDNESS
The table below provides the Hardness for some types of
common materials. Use the thin Hardness for shields and
thin items and the regular Hardness for sturdier objects
such as armor.
You folks are very helpful!
Yah that's a good point. I wish they included the thin item/shield hardness on that hardness table on p. 354 since it is liable to lead to confusion as is.
