Smashing an Object
Defense Value
An object's DV is 10 + its size modifier + its Dexterity modifier. An inanimate object has a Dexterity of 0 (-5 modifier). Furthermore, if you take a full action to line up your attack, a melee or attack automatically hits as if you had rolled a 20, as does a ranged attack if you are adjacent to the object, and a ranged attack further away gains a +5 bonus. Objects are immune to critical hits.
Surfaces
Damaging a 5 ft. x 5 ft. surface down to half of its total hit points (inflicting the broken condition) allows a small-size creature to squeeze through its square (see Squeezing under Combat). A surface must reach 0 hp for a medium creature to move through its square unimpeded. For each size smaller, the amount of damage needed to squeeze or move through is halved.
