It had to be done

[Mista Collins]

Because another thread brought this up...

and in all my laughter I misspelled steel and damage

 

[Tatsukun]

That's just silly. It clearly falls under the 'DM may decide if a weapon is ineffective' rule.

[Aust Diamondew]

Ofc you can. The rules dealing the damamging stell objects with whips are clearly covered in the SRD. You just got to swing the whip the right way.

 

[Nifft]

Maybe if you use the whip to Trip the door into a pool of lava...

[IcyCool]

Provided that you have a sufficient damage bonus to beat the hardness, use the whip in the right way, AND your GM says that a whip is capable of damaging steel, then yes.

 

[kirinke]

And if the whip has been enchanted to be able to damage said steel door.

 

[Zandel]

Just make the whip a magic rusting whip and be done with it

 

[Sejs]

Tie a rust monster to the end of the whip and you're set.


... though I guess that'd make it more of a rust monster flail, now that I think of it.

I voted yes.

Although as a DM I would probably class that under the 'certain attacks can't damage certain objects' clause, it's not a hard and fast rule, and in some circumstances I might not.


glass.

 

[PrinceZane]

I voted yes because as far as I know as long as it overcomes the hardness it would with RAW...


But then there's that whole "logic" and "physics" thing that comes to mind...

But EVERYONE knows neither can be a "valid" argument in D&D...
