Special Abilities on Weapons

[TracerBullet42]

DMG errata were released last week

If you check the section on Carrying, Exploration, and Movement , you'll find a completely different passage describing the effects of enhancement bonuses on hardness and hit points. (Also check under Magic Shields in the Magic Items section.)

This is the accurate 3.5 rule; the Magic Weapons section in the DMG (which you quoted) is a cut'n'paste error left over from 3E.

May I never doubt you again...

May your dice be blessed.
