[QUOTE="Redbadge, post: 6002920, member: 61463"] You hack at the door with some effort, shaving off thin slivers of wood in between the reinforced iron bands, and exposing glimpses of the iron rods running through the core of the door. [GM][B]A couple of things:[/B] First,[URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/exploration-movement#TOC-Smashing-an-Object"] objects are immune to nonlethal damage and critical hits (as well as precision damage in most cases)[/URL]. Second, this a very thick, strong wooden door with reinforced iron bands on the outside and iron rods running through slots on the inside. As this door has an equivalent hardness to your weapon, there is a chance that your sword is damaged by the smashing as well. On a miss, your weapon takes the damage instead (applying hardness 10 for a two-handed steel weapon as normal). Granted with the AC 3, and +5 bonus you get for lining up a strike as a full-round action, this will only happen on a roll of 1, but this door has enough hitpoints to probably shatter your weapon long before the door is broken. For the record, I assumed you hit on your first two attacks and applied the first 2 d6s from each to the damage. The door has taken 6 damage so far. As the stone wall only has hardness 8 and has approximately the same thickness and hitpoints as the door in this case, it would probably be a better tactic to burrow through the wall (noting of course, that only hammers and picks work effectively for this tactic).[/GM] [/QUOTE]
