Message: <blockquote data-quote="FANGO" data-source="post: 214232" data-attributes="member: 2368">Um, I stand on sand all the time, it's called the beach <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" />DR is bypassed by enhancement bonuses, regardless of whether they are magical or not.  Your "example" is mentioned in passing, whereas my table is meant to be referred to in all cases dealing with the bypassing of DR (if you'll notice, it does mention in the MM to refer to that table, whereas your "nonmagical" is not only just mentioned briefly and in passing, but also it is not mentioned in the DMG, which the MM refers to for adjudicating DR, or the SRD, which is meant to be the flavor-stripped, official version of the rules, with only rulesworthy sections in it and nothing else to muddle the opinions of the misinformed).What you have posted is in no way a refutation, it is simply a piece of flavor text that is not at all supported anywhere else in any book, and is the only thing that would suggest that DR can't be bypassed by nonmagical weapons, and that's only if you read it in a certain way. (and an interesting side note...it never actually refers to adamantine as being nonmagical in the special materials section...although I suppose it does in the descriptions of the axe and dagger in the magic weapons section...but then, it is the "magic weapons" section...so, actually, there would even be a rationale, even if you were right about the whole nonmagical things not bypassing DR (which you aren't), for letting adamantine be considered magical at least for the purpose of bypassing DR).</blockquote>
