DR question

[OfRiceAndHen]

Would the DR from Adamantine armor stack with the innate DR of a barbarian or dwarven defender?

By the RAW, no.

Personally, I don't like that ... it cheapens the barbarian's DR, if a few thousand GP can easilymimic most of it.

So over in the Exodus, the two do stack. We haven't had a flood of adamantine-wearing barbarians, so, it doesn't seem broken enough to attract swarms of cheese-seeking munchkins ... ^_^

I pretty much completely agree with pax

By the rules it does not, but it doesnt make any sense really. One is innate skill and ability to shrug off damage and the other is something you actually put between yourself and someone else.

To me it is akin to not letting a sheild stack with armor, almost exactly in fact. They are both 'armor' and so doing the same thing, why do they stack? For similar reasons barb dr should stack with adamantite armors..

Thanks for the quick replys. BTW, what is 'RAW'?

BTW, what is 'RAW'?

I believe RAW means Rules As Written.

Camaranth got it in one. ^_^
