[QUOTE="danzig138, post: 4053569, member: 3595"] Or a damage bonus based on the success of the attack roll, since you won't always hit a tree just right with an axe. Concerning the very original post: The books talk about ignoring hardness and dealing extra damage is the target is attacked by something it would be vulnerable to. There are quite a few Breaks DCs provided as examples, which would be useful for breaking through things. And I've always been of the opinion that reducing the target to 0 hit points [I]destroys [/I] the target. That thin pillar doesn't need to be completely destroyed to be broken in half by Thog missing with his giant hammer. As a house rule, you could either use the damage in place in the Strength check, or have the damage add a bonus to the Strength check for the Break DC. And of course, sometimes, it should be the person hitting the target that breaks before the target does. [/QUOTE]
