I like the DR/+2 variant..and have been using it for a while, with each plus negating 5 points of DR.
It does not horribly disfigure the game and makes a +2 weapons better in some circumstances than a +1 Flaming one.
The idea of needing matching bonuses for special effects is..interesting. It would be a good way to keep the 'weird' items from being prevalent. But you would have to recalculate wealth in every published module and some other workload stuff. Personally if I wanted this sort of setting change I would have each plus negate 10 points of DR ...and double all DR listings.
- That would make a striaght plus obviously more valuable than an elemental damage enhancement. It would also make characters that much more dependant on thier equipment bonuses.
