Message: <blockquote data-quote="green slime" data-source="post: 964219" data-attributes="member: 1325">Will just to murky the waters bit further, I present the following:A +2 Adamantine Defending weapon is able to add +2 to AC, and retain a non-magical +2 bonus to hit and damage. (given that it costs almost as much as a +4 weapon). It retains its hardness and hp, as a +2 magical adamantine weapon. It can penetrate DR X/+2 through virtue of the material the weapon is made of.A Steel +2 Defending weapon that has its +2 applied to AC, it cannot penetrate DR X/+2. However I wouldn't have the hardness and hp of the sword reduced. The magic is still present in the weapon.A +4 Steel Defending weapon that has all of its bonuses pumped into AC, while it cannot defeat DR X/+4, is still regarded as a +4 weapon for purposes of resisting sundering. It has the hardness and hp of a +4 weapon, at all times.A +1 Adamantine Defending longsword can be used to add +1 to AC, and still retain a +2 bonus to hit and damage. It has the hardness and hp of a +1 adamantine weaponCasting GMW (+5) on a +2 Defending longsword does not allow you to move more than +2 to your AC (at which time the weapon becomes +3, and can only defeat DR X/+3), nor does the spell in any way increase the hardness or hp of the weapon. The  weapon under influence of GMW can be sundered by a +3 permanently enhanced weapon.That's right, I dislike GMW...</blockquote>
