You can track a Huge or Gargantuan object's hit points if you like, or you can simply decide how long the object can withstand whatever weapon or force is acting against it. That said, one torch can burn a Huge tapestry, and an earthquakespell can reduce a colossus to rubble. Normal weapons are of little use against many Huge and Gargantuan objects, such as a colossal statue, towering column of stone, or massive boulder. The Object Hit Points table provides suggested hit points for fragile and resilient objects that are Large or smaller. Large objects also tend to have more hit points than small ones, unless breaking a small part of the object is just as effective as breaking the whole thing. Resilient objects have more hit points than fragile ones. SubstanceĪn object's hit points measure how much damage it can take before losing its structural integrity.
The Object Armor Class table provides suggested AC values for various substances. Armor ClassĪn object's Armor Class is a measure of how difficult it is to deal damage to the object when striking it (because the object has no chance of dodging out of the way). You can also give it immunities, resistances, and vulnerabilities to specific types of damage. When time is a factor, you can assign an Armor Class and hit points to a destructible object. Can a fighter cut through a section of a stone wall with a sword? No, the sword is likely to break before the wall does.įor the purpose of these rules, an object is a discrete, inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair, or stone, not a building or a vehicle that is composed of many other objects. Use common sense when determining a character's success at damaging an object. When characters need to saw through ropes, shatter a window, or smash a vampire's coffin, the only hard and fast rule is this: given enough time and the right tools, characters can destroy any destructible object.
