From DDO wiki(Redirected from Damage reduction)
[edit] Damage ReductionDamage Reduction (DR) is a measure of how much weapon damage a character can ignore before losing hit points. The DR value is subtracted from each incoming hit, to a minimum of zero damage received. If you have a DR 10 and get hit for 9 points of damage, you take no damage at all. If you have a DR 10 and get hit for 15 points of damage, you only take 5 points of damage. DR applies only to physical weapon damage, although there is a similar concept of Resist Energy that applies to energy/elemental damage from spells, enchanted weapons, and traps. Passive DR is visible on your character sheet, or as buffs in your buff bar. Multiple DR entries may be listed on your sheet; only the highest one which is not bypassed by a particular attack's properties (like Adamantine) applies. The actual DR used against an attack is reported in the combat log as final/net damage dealt followed by damage reduced. [edit] DR Aspects and BypassingPassive DR may be bypassed by the properties of a particular attack. Some forms of DR are vulnerable to materials (like Adamantine or Silver), alignments (like Chaos or Good), damage type (like Slashing), or just "magic". For DR that can be bypassed, the relevant property is listed after the number on the character sheet, in the form of "DR 6/Adamantine" or "DR 5/Evil". If there is no property which can bypass the DR, a "-" is listed instead. [edit] Examples
[edit] Passive DR SourcesPassive DR can be provided from many sources, including:
These passive DR sources do not stack with each other; only the highest DR not overcome by the attack type is taken into account. But, if one type of DR is bypassed, a lower value DR from a different source can apply.
[edit] Active DRPlayer characters (but not monsters, apparently) gain "Active DR" when they actively block by holding down the shift key. Active DR is displayed as "Blocking DR" in your inventory sheet. Active DR cannot be bypassed. Furthermore, Active DR stacks with any Passive DR (from the single, highest applicable source).
[edit] Monster DRDDO includes monsters with Damage Reduction. Monster DR may require specific material, damage types, and/or alignment to bypass the DR and deal full damage. Additionally, some monsters are vulnerable to magic weapons only. Any weapon with at least a +1 magical enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls overcomes the damage reduction of these monsters. For bypassing DR in DDO, damage types are bludgeoning, piercing and slashing. Alignments are Law, Chaos, Good and Evil. Material types are adamantine, byeshk, cold iron, crystal, flametouched iron and silver. A Metalline weapon is enhanced to mimic all material types. Some examples include:
