DR stacking

Does a Barbarian's and a Templar's DR stack? My good comrade, accomplice, associate, and RPing Protege, Mr. Monkey would like to know.

I would say it works similar to a barbarian/rogue and uncanny dodge. Or just let them stack. Either way, you could not get more than 4/- at 20th character level.
 

We are running a verging on epic campaign, so thats why I ask so. I think I'm gonna let the DR stack, but keep the opinions coming!

DR doesn't stack, but multiple sources still function, although they do so independantly. From the sage...

How are multiple damage reductions on the same creature handled? Do they "stack" or do they overlap? I am assuming that if If I have damage reduction 15/silver and 10/+1 then a silver weapon would still face the 10/+1 reduction. But would a mundane non-silvered weapon have to deal with 15 or 25 damage reduction?

Two or more kinds of damage reduction do not stack. However, a creature with multiple damage reduction qualities gets the benefit of the best one for any given attack against it. Against a silver weapon, the sample creature would still have 10 points of DR. Against a mundane weapon the creature would a DR of 15.

Yep, though I doubt you'd break your campaign by letting a bizarre multiclass get an extra point of DR.

What is bizarre about a Barbarian Templar of Kord? It strikes me as a mark of a devotion. "Chaotic" doesn't mean "I hate everything!":rolleyes:

Maybe. Maybe not. But 1 point is 1 point, so why bother in the first place? Easy. Don't. :)
