SRD Talk:Morningstar

Question

Could a cleric or a druid casts spikes on a morningstar? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 190.138.165.215 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 12 August 2009 (MST). Please sign your posts.

Unlikely. Both spike spells are area spells, not target spells. --Dmilewski 20:20, 12 August 2009 (MDT)

Curiosity

Is 5 hardness 6 hp correct for an adamantine morningstar? --Froggeh 06:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Adamantine has hardness 20 --Name Violation 08:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Exactly what I was thinking, seems that table has an error --Froggeh 11:41, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

The hardness is based on the wooden bits. Typically someone attempting to sunder a morningstar is going to try to break the haft, not the metal on top. This is why hafted weapons in Table: Common Armor, Weapon, and Shield Hardness and Hit Points have the hardness of wood (5) instead of metal (10). —Sledged (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I can't see anywhere that says the Morningstars have a wooden haft, so why is it assumed it is wooden hafted? --Froggeh 21:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

*Looks about conspiratorially and whispers...*

Because the PHB says it's wooden.

This is a small bit of information I snuck in that's not in the SRD. I was annoyed that the SRD gave the hardness and hit points for metal and non-metal hafts (I can only conclude that the non-metal ones are wooden) but didn't bother to say which weapons were metal-hafted and which ones were not. Oddly enough, it seems the light and heavy maces are the only metal-hafted weapons. —Sledged (talk) 22:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
