[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 56320, member: 2829"] I have to agree with you here, to a point. The only time I have seen anything like this was in The Book of Eldritch Might. Monte created Elemental Damage Reduction. Unlike elemental resistance, which absorbs so much per round, Monte's absorbed so much per attack, just like damage reduction. However, a creature with 30/fire would basically mean that it ignored all blows, stabs, and cuts that dealt less than 30 points of damage per hit, no matter how enchanted the blade. It would still be susceptible to spells and energy attacks, like lightning, cold, acid, and most importantly, fire. So if its already susceptible to fire, why bother listing the DR as 30/fire? Just list it as 30/--. If you want the creature immune to everything but fire, list the DR as 30/-- and give it cold, acid, lightning, and sonic immunity. [/QUOTE]
