[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5816151, member: 95493"] Sorry, bit late to the thread. I think DR was overused, but I think regeneration was underused for monsters that should have had it. I understand things like dragons having DR vs adamantine, that makes sense because they have hard scales. It all depends on how the resistance should be applied, and to which creatures. I also think that magic (a lot of the time) should have been equally resisted by these creatures but the best we had was spell resistance and that was too often easily countered. I think that creatures like werewolves and vampires should have had regeneration. But I also think regeneration should have acted differently than it did, based on how creatures like trolls worked. It should have been nearly immediate resistance to anything that they were immune to (everything but fire/silver/whatever) and then lengthy or magical healing to recover from the rest, none of this "it heals X per round" business. OH, as as far as my quote - How would Vulnerability 5 work? I get resist (DR) 5. I don't agree with resist (DR) 5 but I get it. Also, dragons and vampires were kind of the prime examples of creatures with weaknesses to things and they turned into a caster's autokilled creatures. Dragon is resistant (or immune) to fire? Okay douse it with cold. The vampire does from sunlight? Good thing I have that daylight spell. If they did introduce bigger (or any) weaknesses then we would have an even greater deficit between the casters and the fighters - unless those weaknesses were PURELY weapon related. [/QUOTE]
