Surprise
Oh?! Are we on the air? I just offended party's strongest fighter?!
Oh, woe (pulling his beard out) ... AARRGGHh!
You can wait for opportunity where we must jump over the obstacle and toss me over. Remember Gimli flying on the bridge with help of Aragorn? And before in Moria, "Nobody tosses a dwarf !"

Tharune, don't listen to him !
He just wants to show off, enviously realizing that
"Um caruje, snaga klade valja"
Translated along the lines of "Mind rules, strength bowls the trees over".![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
I don't know anything resembling that in english, closest comes "Mind over matter", but some such saying is bound to exist.
Now to find that spell for jumping or flying so I don't get tossed around...

Question
There is one thing bugging me.
Let's say I have a weapon of effective +2 enchantment (let's say axiomatic blade), but no pluses.
If dretch is encountered that needs +1 weapon to hit, would his DR be bypassed by this +2 blade? Or it needs to have "real" pluses to affect it?
What I'm asking is, is it possible to have heavily enchanted weapon (+5 and more) that is essentialy useless against threats with high DR (let's say DR 10+)

DR vs Magic Weapons
First, a weapon has to have an enhancement bonus of at least +1 before any other magical enhancements can be placed upon it, so your Axiomatic only blade should not be able to exist at least per RAW, unless the DM deems otherwise.
In 3.0, if I remember correctly, only the enhancement bonus counts. So yes, (in 3.0) a +1 Vorpal Great Sword against a creature with DR 10/ +2 would still be subject to the full DR.
In 3.5 its resistance would be something akin to DR 5/Magic, so as long as it has any enhancement bonus, either permanent or via a spell such a Magic Weapon, it will pass by its DR.
