[QUOTE="jessemock, post: 1292268, member: 15694"] I can't help but to agree with you, as I made this point earlier. I don't know. Why not say that plants are immune to crits from piercing and bludgeoning weapons, but not from slashing? Similarly, why not say that stone creatures have immunity from piercing and slashing weapons, but not bludgeoning? Neither of these rules involves too much work. A few questions may arise, however. Why wouldn't a heavy pick be as effective as or more effective than a mace against stone? True; a pick has been adapted from a mining tool to a weapon, but... This also brings to mind the question: why would a pick be as effective as a spear underwater? That's an interesting point: because I'm a woodcutter, I know which cracks in a log are best to aggravate; a stone mason has the same advantage with his medium. I could see the rationale for a critical feat that improves the damage multiplier. But what I'm really asking here is not simply for a house rule or what-have-you; I'm asking: what am I missing? Is there any real, pressing need for the immunity from crits that plants enjoy? Stone? Undead, possibly? [/QUOTE]
