I haven't looked into it fully, but it feels like Razing would be too powerful if it increased the damage to a character using a shield just because they are using a shield.
To justify that gut instinct reaction:
Razing trait specifies that the damage is increase as you apply damage to the object. So in the case of shield block, that is after reducing the damage by the hardness, and after allocating and quantifying the damage to be dealt to both the creature and the shield separately. Then the damage gets dealt to the creature and the damage allocated to the shield is increased as it is dealt to the shield.
Whenever you deal damage to an object ... with a razing weapon, the object takes an amount of additional damage equal to double the number of weapon damage dice.
I have a question on the razing weapon ability. when attacking with a earthbreaker against a character who uses shield block would the extra damage be applied to the character too?Since shield block reads that the shield and character take the remaining damage equally after the hardness is applied.
Also, what if they have a shield raised when you attack with a razing weapon. Would the additional damage be applied to the shield only or would the additional damage be applied to the shield and character wielding it
Yeah, I'm not sure what the meaning is this post is.
