For instance, breaking a wall made of paper panels over a woven wooden framework would require damaging thin wood, not paper. However, the GM might choose the weaker material based on the item’s function. For instance, breaking the wooden handle of a hammer rather than its iron head would still render the item unusable. Sometimes an item is even less sturdy than the Hardness and Hit Points provided for a thin object; for instance, a twig doesn’t take 9 damage to break, even though it’s made of thin wood. Similarly, a particularly sturdy item or structure might have even higher Hardness and Hit Points. Certain structures, particularly thick walls, are so reinforced that you have to break them down over time with tools. (Page 515 has more information on walls.)\n\n## Table 11-4: Material Hardness, Hit Points, and Broken Threshold\n<row gap=\"tiny\">\n<table> <tr><td>**Material**</td><td>**Hardness**</td><td>**HP**</td><td>**BT**</td><td>**Example Items**</td></tr> <tr><td>Paper</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>—</td><td>Book pages, paper fan, scroll</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin cloth</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>—</td><td>Kite, silk dress, undershirt</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin glass</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>—</td><td>Bottle, spectacles, window pane</td></tr> <tr><td>Cloth</td><td>1</td><td>4</td><td>2</td><td>Cloth armor, heavy jacket, sack, tent</td></tr> <tr><td>Glass</td><td>1</td><td>4</td><td>2</td><td>Glass block, glass table, heavy vase</td></tr> <tr><td>Glass structure</td><td>2</td><td>8</td><td>4</td><td>Glass block wall</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin leather</td><td>2</td><td>8</td><td>4</td><td>Backpack, jacket, pouch, strap, whip</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin rope</td><td>2</td><td>8</td><td>4</td><td>Standard adventuring rope</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin wood</td><td>3</td><td>12</td><td>6</td><td>Chair, club, sapling, wooden shield</td></tr> <tr><td>Leather</td><td>4</td><td>16</td><td>8</td><td>Leather armor, saddle</td></tr> <tr><td>Rope</td><td>4</td><td>16</td><td>8</td><td>Industrial rope, ship rigging</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin stone</td><td>5</td><td>16</td><td>8</td><td>Chalkboard, slate tiles, stone cladding</td></tr> <tr><td>Thin iron or steel</td><td>5</td><td>20</td><td>10</td><td>Chain, steel shield, sword</td></tr> <tr><td>Wood</td><td>5</td><td>20</td><td>10</td><td>Chest, simple door, table, tree trunk</td></tr> <tr><td>Stone</td><td>7</td><td>28</td><td>14</td><td>Paving stone, statue</td></tr> <tr><td>Iron or steel</td><td>9</td><td>36</td><td>18</td><td>Anvil, iron or steel armor, stove</td></tr> <tr><td>Wooden structure</td><td>10</td><td>40</td><td>20</td><td>Reinforced door, wooden wall</td></tr> <tr><td>Stone structure</td><td>14</td><td>56</td><td>28</td><td>Stone wall</td></tr> <tr><td>Iron or steel structure</td><td>18</td><td>72</td><td>36</td><td>Iron plate wall</td></tr> </table></row>\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"medium\">\r\n\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n</row>",
