[QUOTE="triqui, post: 6006001, member: 57948"] It's not about "smaller characters". It's about single heavy hitting atacks, vs multiple attacks. With DR rules, a Bison is more dangerous than a lion. A Bison can charge for 2d6+12 damage. A lion does 1d8+5, plus four 1d4+5 claw attacks on a pounce. While on regular D&D, a lion is much more dangerous than a Bison (he does 1d8+4d4+25 vs 2d6+12 in a round), in a game with DR, it's not true. A DR 8 armor will make you almost inmune to the lion, whille the Bison still does 2d6+4, which is respectable damage. It's not only that you are inmune to low level goblins. You are inmune to multiattack creatures too. Aurumvorax, or displacer beasts, or even Hydras, are incredibly weak threats against anyone with a half decent DR. Anyone with a full plate and a Natural ARmor amulet can take down as many hydras as you want, without sweeting. And I mean an *army* of hydras, like 20. [/QUOTE]
