Talk:Damage Reduction

Old Damage Reduction page
Note: I (Tihocan 15:12, February 9, 2006 (PST)) redirected Damage Reduction to this topic. There was the following on that page:

Initial damage reduction for a barbarian is 1/- This means that incoming damage from all sources is reduced by one point. The '-' indicates attacks or materials that will ignore the damage reduction. For example, the Warforged racial feat Adamantine Body grants damage reduction of 2/adamantine. So, all incoming damage is reduced by 2 unless it is from an adamantine weapon, in which case damage reduction is ignored and full damage is taken from the attack.

Someone should look at the Lair of Summoning mission (in house K) and find out what the DR of the final fire elemental in there is. I swear, my +2 weapon did not hurt it at all, but my +3 did.

Active block
The description and the formula of DR given could be read as if DR of shield and shield mastery would apply even if NOT actively blocking with the shield. Is it so?
 * No. You only get shield DR (mastery or otherwise) if actively blocking.  You get your base/armor DR if you're blocking or not Sonil 11:03, August 24, 2006 (EDT)

DR Revamp
I'd like to redo the DR page to have it answer questions like "What, exactly, breaks DR/Evil?"

I put together an initial design in the forum thread.

I'd like some feedback on the best way to set this up. Specific questions I have:

- Would it be better to split up player DR and Monster DR into separate pages? - Should each DR type have its own wiki page? Like, say, DR/Evil could have a page with the detailed info from the thread.

Thanks in advance for any feedback. (And apologies; I continue to not know how to properly format talk pages.)
