AFAIK, weapons are objects, and all objects are immune to critical hits. Am I missing or forgetting something?

No.

What's that creature Soveliss is fighting ?

It looks neither like a locathah nor like a sahuagin, unless one of them suffered massive change. Maybe a kuo-toa, though.

 

[Remathilis]

Maybe a Kua-to-ahagin?

 

[Staffan]

The creature is definitely a kuo-toa.

Also, isn't there already an Improved Sunder feat in Sword & Fist or the Psionics Handbook or something?

 

[MerricB]

Yes, a feat named Improved Sunder is in S&F.

To fix this in your 3.5 game:

* The action "Strike a weapon" is now called "Sunder"
* The feat "Sunder" is now called "Improved Sunder"
* The feat "Improved Sunder" is now called "Superior Sunder"

The last is my invention, but will easily fix the problem.

Cheers!

The feat Sunder, for example, is being renamed Improved Sunder, and sunder is now a combat action. We determined (based on feedback!) that there was no real reason a character without the Sunder feat couldn't break a weapon, and players wanted to try. Actually doing it is a lot easier if you have the feat, plus then you don't draw an attack of opportunity.

Mwha? Since when did you need the Sunder feat to break a weapon? Since when was striking a weapon not a combat action?

 

[MerricB]

I think they're just getting confused.

I would be as well, when you consider the number of different rules they've been considering. You get mixed up about editions!

Cheers!

Unprocessed fishstick...

 

[Aeolius]

Unprocessed fishstick...

Not to be confused with the skeletal fish which swim within the river in Hades:

fish, Styx

 

[Renaissance Man]

Vaguely familiar, yet I can't quite place it.
