Core Rulebook Contradiction - Object Hardness

[DeafGecko]

Page 515 sidebar, "Doors, Gates, and Walls" states that a wooden door has a hardness of 10 and 40hp, while a reinforced wood door has a hardness of 15, and 60hp.

Page 577, table 11-4: Material Hardness, Hit Points, and Broken Threshold states that a Simple Door (an example for "Wood"), has a hardness of 5 and 20hp, while a Reinforced Door (As an example of "Wooden Structure") has hardness 10 and 40hp.

So we have two sets of stats for the same object, arguably the most likely object your average adventuring party is going to want to hack down with their trusty greataxe...

Which set of stats should be used?

Hmm that looks like its an oversight when they were editing.

I recommend looking at other hardness/HP values and basing it on what makes sense until an errata comes out.

Yeah highlighting this to Paizo so they could add it to an errata was my main aim really - I just have no idea where to report it...

I think hardness 5 works for something you could get through with a one handed axe if you're strong, and 10 for something you're need a bigger two handed axe to get through, will see how that pans out in game.

Thanks.

There is a thread discussing how to handle FAQs, so maybe check there.

And your welcome.
