[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 1054509, member: 3051"] There are two problems with accepting this as is. 1> That rule was in the 3E PHB in the "stike a weapon"/Sunder section. It's been removed from that section in 3.5E. 2> Also on that same line it says 1 point of Enhancement bonus gives +1 HP and +1 Hardness, just like in 3E. The problem being, the new 3.5E DMG gives THREE contradictory clauses for this. For shields, it's listed as +10 HP and +2 Hardness. For armors, it's not listed at all. And for shields, that "must have a higher Enhancement bonus" clause has been removed, even though armor/shields are covered under the same Sunder rules as weapons in both 3E and 3.5E. So, it looks to me like that line on weapons was accidentally left over from 3E, and the way it's written for shields (+2 Hardness, +10 HP, no Sunder limit) is the way it's SUPPOSED to be now and someone just forgot to update it when they did the rest. I guess we'll have to wait until they release errata to fix all of these contradictory sections. Yeah, right. [/QUOTE]
