Jagged Berms HP and Broken?


Rules Discussion

So the text of Jagged Berms gives an AC, a Hardness, and a HP value - but no Broken Threshold.

Do items/creatures with a Hardness automatically *have* a BT? If Berms do, what happens when it gains the Broken condition? A result is given in the text for Destroyed ("Becomes difficult terrain"), but nothing for broken. OR, do the Berms not have a BT, because none is listed, and nothing happens until they are destroyed?

If I am missing any key rules someplace, please enlighten me!


No when BT is not explicitly there's no BT.

BT usually is half of HP but it isn't a rule. A BT can be different from half of HP or cannot exist at all. As any specific rule if a BT is not declared there's no BT at all.

Held objects and hazards typically have broken thresholds. Structures like walls or beams typically only have HP and hardness. You can see that with spells that create structures like wall of stone or force.

Jagged Berms is more like a structure then an object so it will be destroyed at 0Hp but won’t become broken before that.

Thanks, that was what I was thinking as well. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a general rule of some kind.

Thanks for the quick answers!
