[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 371274, member: 149"] You have pretty much summed up the dilemma with sunder. No PC is ever going to enjoy having a magic item they have worked slaved and sacrificed for, shattered in front of them. Magic items are repairable, so it does not need to necesarily be the end of the item if it's sundered. I guess it basically comes down to a question of how much do you want your characters to be able to keep items with what kind of hassle factor over getting them repaired. Other options would be to add a magic item ability that renders an item immune to sundering (probably about a +1 I'd guess) or possibly just upping the effective + by 5 for purposes of sunder resistance (pretty much the same thing at non-epic levels). Possibly something like permitting coatings of adamantite to increase hardness (at a hefty fee). Somebody suggested a feat for archers that would let the PC take the damage from the sunder attempt rather than the weapon. That's an option. But without changing the game at least somewhat, there is really no good solution to the problem. [/QUOTE]
