Magmins and their Melt ability...

[Nyaricus]

I am running a gaem this saturday, and I gotta ask how a magmins melt ability works. How do weapon saving throws work again??

Melt Weapons (Ex)

Any metal weapon that strikes a magmin must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or melt away into slag. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Thanks in advance

As it's likely that the weapon is being used when this ability comes into play, it would use its wielder's Fortitude save.

If its own save is higher, or it is unattended, it would use its own save. A magic item has a save equal to 2 + 1/2 its caster level (rounded down). This an be found on page 214 of the DMG under "Damaging Magic Items".

What if it's non-magical?

Refer to page 166 in your Player's Handbook, under "saving throws".

Non-magical, unattended objects automatically fail saving throws. If there's someone wielding it however, the object uses its bearer's saving throw.
