I'm prepping for my group's next session and I hit a snag.
The adventure features a soulbound doll, but while checking the Bestiary I noticed the mentioning of the soul focus gem embedded in it.
What if my players decide to target it?
Are there rules for something like this? I haven't found them, and AFAIK you need particular abilities to ever damage someone's gear (unless it's a shield used to block your attack).
So why did they specify the soul focus gem has Hardness 10? There are no other data BTW... but I'm just now noticing that on p.577 of the CRB, where the stats of various materials are given, the Broken Threshold is always Hardness x2, and the total HPs are always BTx2... so in theory the gem has BT 20 and 40 HPs... and that's fine, but again - is there a way to target it? If not, why was this data included? And how do I handle my players trying to interact with it? Also, what does it do, if anything, when you pick it up - can you recycle it to craft a magic item, for instance? Sell it? Send the soul to its afterlife? I see there's mention of using an intact soul gem to create another soulbound construct, but you apparently need special knowledge for that (perhaps a later product?).
Somewhat relatedly, when you want to smash a wall do you only roll damage or do you have to hit an AC? Because I can't find examples of the latter. What if you want to cut a rope with an arrow, for instance?
Sorry for the wall of questions, but I couldn't find threads about all of this for P2... y yo no hablo P1.
