[QUOTE="Grayhawk, post: 1489562, member: 11288"] Thanks for your replies. Oops, I knew that - what I meant to ask about was hardness. According to PHB p.165 you apply hardness to damage dealt by electricity, fire and cold dammage (after dividing by either 2 or 4), but not to damage from acid or sonic. Do you apply hardness to damage from a force effect? Animated Objects from the MM1 retains their natural hardness. Does this mean that you should also divide energy damage (from electricity, fire and cold) dealt to animated objects? I guess I should have read up on the spell description for Magic Missile before posting, but I was looking around for a quote that covered force effects in general. So, let me try and get this straight: If you fire a MM at a wooden table, nothing happens. (Actually, you really can't, as you have to target 'creatures'.) As soon as the table is animated, you can target and damage it with MMs? [/QUOTE]
