Monk Ki Strike question

First Post
Something I just noticed the other day in the monk's ki strike entry:

"At 16th level, her unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction and bypassing hardness."

There is nothing that I can find in the "Breaking Objects" section that mentions anything about adamantine bypassing hardness at all. Is this supposed to mean that a monk's ki strike automatically bypasses hardness, period? If so, why wouldn't the entry state something like "additionally, the monk's ki strike bypasses hardness." The wording of the entry seems off to me.

Has this been errataed somewhere that I haven't noticed?

Check the relevant entry for adamantine in the DMG. Adamantine ignores any hardness of less than 20.

That was quick, thanks!

I'll check that entry- they really should cross-reference that with the PHB section on "Breaking Objects"...
