D&D 3.x Catalog of 3.5 Creatures and their DR

[dravot]

Some Slaads do (Grey and Death), but no Formians (not even the Queen).

Hrm...I missed the Slaads. I'll add them in now.

 

[dcollins]

Ummm... I assume they golem DR type is really "adamantine", right? If they changed it to "adamantium" they've got potential trademark trouble with Marvel Comics...

Everyone's a critic! Feh.

 

[Grazzt]

DCollins- its listed as "adamantine" in the MM and DMG so all is good.

They gave the biggest dragons DR 20/Magic? Argggg. Basically they don't have DR then since no one is going to not have a magic weapon by the level they fight a very tough dragon.

I know all my players would definitely invest in a +1 or better Bow now since it acts as a magic weapon. So now the dragon's flight will be less of an obstacle than previously.

I'm going to have to do something about this. It isn't right. I think I will give dragon's straight DR. That is the way they are portrayed in stories with their thick armored scales.

Remember that by having the DR, it allows a dragon to sunder magical weapons, and bypass other creatures with magic DR.

I'd figure that elder dragons would have DR on the order of "Magic and X" depending on their age, maybe even "Magic, X, and Y" but that might make them a bit overpowered.

Elementals 0/-, 5/-, 10/- depending on size/age

Maybe I'm just plain stupid, but what benefit does DR 0/- give? As is, it sounds like no benefit at all...

Did anyone not have a +3 weapon (except maybe the arcanists) by the time the party was tackling dragons with x/+3? I doubt it, so they didn't really have DR in 3.0 either.

They don't really have DR 0/-, he was just putting it in that format to match with the 5/- and 10/-. They have no DR.

I'm going to repeat the question posed above - what is the point of the ki (lawful) strike of a monk, nothing has DR x/Law or DR x/Chaos.

Half of align weapon is now useless. Monk ki strike nerfed - in it's own edition. Something smells.
