Does a demolition weapon crystal bypass a warforged's light fortification [3.5]

(same for whatever the gravestrike equivlent for constructs was called)

RAMS is a solid yes, but does it work under RAW?

No, it doesn't defeat light fortification. The Greater Demo Crystal permits them to be sneak attacked as though they were living creatures. It doesn't defeat a special quality that grants partial immunity to crits (which, you'll note, living creatures can have too).

Note: The Demo Crystals do work on Warforged, though they're not super useful honestly.

What the heck is "RAMS"?

Anyway, you may be surprised to learn this, but warforged aren't resistant to critical hits because they're "um... like normal constructs, but like, you know, not totally?" You might think that, since Light Fortification is sort of a compromise between immunity to crits and nothing, but no. It's because of the interlocking plates that cover their bodies.

No, seriously! Check the Unarmored Body feat from Races of Eberron (page 120) if you don't believe me. Warforged who don't have built-in armor lose Light Fortification; it's not an inherent property of the Living Construct subtype at all. Fo' rizzle.
