D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e Ki Strike

From SRD:

Ki Strike (Su): At 4th level, a monk’s unarmed attacks are empowered with ki. Her unarmed attacks are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction. Ki strike improves with the character’s monk level. At 10th level, her unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction. At 16th level, her unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction and bypassing hardness.

Does this mean that at 4th level the monk could bypass DR x/+5? What would/should be the progression for bypassing DR? I'm running a 3e campaign, but like the 3.5e Monk build much better than the 3e one.

10th Ki strike (+1)
13th ki strike (+2)
16th Ki strike (+3)

for 3.5 it is pretty hard to say, when do you expect a player to have that level of plus? I'd say scale it with greater magic fang, but remembr in 3.0, monks were expected to suffer with sucktastic weapons to deal with DR. In 3.5 they are now given a nod and a wink to get by magic based DR.

8th +2
12th +3
16th +4
20th +5

This might be more "fun"
7th +2
11th +3
12th +4
15th +5
