03-19-07, 08:55 PM Ok so I am having an argument right now and I want to find a ruling on this.

I am using a weapon that bypasses the first 10 points of hardness of what it is attacking.

Adamantine bypasses the first 20 points of hardness right?

So if I make the weapon out of Adamantine it bypasses the first 30 points of hardness right?

03-19-07, 09:16 PM Adamantine doesn't ignore the first 20 hardness, it only ignores the hardness if the object you are striking has 20 hardness or less. If its hadness is 21, Adamantine does nothing. So, no, the two would not stack

Really?

Seems kind of odd...
Like it cuts it or it is just too hard...

Well I guess then it bypasses Hardness upto 20 then past that it cuts it down by 10 or maybe it cuts it down by 10 then the Adamantine works

It just so happens that Adamantine cuts through all softer materials with equal ease.
