Lawfull Breaking[edit]
I think the Absolute Chaos effect has something to do with the Lawfull DR breaking, since the level 16 T3 also has Absolute Chaos and that weapon breaks lawfull Yawgmoth 00:47, October 10, 2011 (EDT)
Like Backley your putting too much thought into this. Named items do not have to follow any rules. The item designer simply set the item to break Lawful DR as a bonus effect on this and the lvl16 Tier3 weapon, thats all there is to this.
Also illogical. Logically absolute chaos, as the next tier of true choas, should break DR/Chaotic. But being we have no lootgen weaponry with the effect (and that braindead monkies write the effect descriptions), we can't know that it did that, or that the item designer just flagged it as such. Absolute Law likely breaks law as well, since the enduring conviction does, but agian, a named item, could just be arbitrary.
DR breaking types aren't always tied to item effects. There are some other examples of where an item breaks a certain DR, but has no effect to make it do so. EG:
- Rahl's Might - handles slash and pierce dr even though it's a quarterstaff
