Hi Guys,
The DMG is pretty clear that Damage Reduction does not apply against spells or spell like abilities.
However, does that include spells or powers that do non-magical damage types. For instance, I'm considering taking the first level psionic power Crystal Shard, which is a ray attack that does 1d6 points of "piercing" damage to an opponent.
Would an opponent's Damage Reduction (of any variety) apply against that spell?
If not, it looks quite good for me, as it can scale with my level, only requires a ranged touch attack to hit, and has no saving throw AND no power resistance.
