Theseattacks deal normal damage both to creatures and toobjects, and thus would deal normal damage to ananimated object (less the effect of the hardness). Youwould subtract 5 points for hardness from whateverdamage a Melf’s acid arrow spell deals to theanimated table in your example.andHardness applies to force attacks. These attacks dealnormal damage both to creatures and to objects(when applicable), and thus would deal normaldamage to an animated object (less the effect of thehardness). You would subtract 5 points for hardnessfrom whatever damage a magic missile spell deals tothe animated table in your example. A magic missilespell normally cannot be aimed at an object. Becausean animated object is a creature, however, it canaffect the animated table in the example.... right?I've got no problem with that.What about on p50 where it says:Acid, sonic, and force attacks ignore hardness. Hardnessapplies to cold, electricity, and fire attacks....?So, again - in a Living Greyhawk campaign, where the FAQ is official... do acid, sonic, and force damage take hardness into account (per FAQ p36) or ignore hardness (per FAQ p50)?-Hyp.</blockquote>
