If you're trying to get through a steel door with an axe, it's still no (unless the axe is magical, perhaps). If you're trying to get through a wooden door with a dagger, I'd say no. It all depends on the situation.

Stigger 03-09-07, 07:23 PM	Better off with an adamantine warhammer, or some other blunt weapon I'd think... better chance of busting the hinges would be my reasoning there though. Door might be unbreakable, but maybe the frame and/or hinges aren't quite as invulnerable as the door itself. Kinda depends though... strength of the one doing the busting would be pretty important.
Bolithio 03-09-07, 07:37 PM	Acid on the hinges???? Than a quick hard blow with a mace or warhamer...?
Khaelieth 03-09-07, 10:37 PM	Two words: adamantine greataxe. Adamantine greataxe... take a chop at a solid rock with an axe. See what happens. You cannot chop stone with an axe, whatever the material.
_SIN_ 03-10-07, 06:51 AM	Hmmmm..... And how many Magical Adamantium Greataxes do you have in your collection? Or are you a lumberjack-mason of some sorts?
Khaelieth 03-10-07, 09:25 AM	Hmmmm..... And how many Magical Adamantium Greataxes do you have in your collection? Or are you a lumberjack-mason of some sorts? If that was directed at me, magic was never mentioned above. A pickaxe could do it, but an axe I believe wouldn't work from a mechanical point of view. Anyway, why would adventures try to dig through the ground with weapons!? It's obvious the DM doesn't want them to bypass it! DM - The room is a 15 by 15 feet. It looks like an old mine. Player - Right, this probably means we've got to dig through the wall.

Alac Luin 03-10-07, 05:17 PM	Isn't this why we have rules for substance hardness and such?
Kouk 03-13-07, 03:42 AM	Isn't this why we have rules for substance hardness and such? Right. A pick can't bypass the DR of stone normally, the system favors not actually mining. Stone to mud though, seems much easier than hacking at a wall for a couple of days.
