[QUOTE="Atavar, post: 3653022, member: 7136"] Hello Everyone, I was reading up on damage reduction in the SRD and came across the following: I had NEVER read that before. Is this how it is written in the core rulebooks, too? If correct, this concerns me. There are now magic items and abilities (Book of 9 Swords, I'm looking at you) that can turn the next melee attack into a touch attack. If the above is correct, then it looks like not only is the attack a touch attack, but the attack can also totally overcome damage reduction, regardless of the properties of the weapon. So, two questions: 1. Is the above actually correct per RAW? 2. Even of the above is RAW, do you think it is too powerful and, thus, would you justify house-ruling that a touch attack can still be subject to damage reduction? Thanks, Atavar [/QUOTE]
