[QUOTE="Venator, post: 3100399, member: 44617"] One problem with the whole epic DR thing and not being able to get through something with DR 20/epic is that is kind of hoses certain builds or characters. Two weapons fighters with crazy amounts of attacks being one of them, archers being another. Almost any class that "attacks a lot for a little" is hurt by simply not being able to deal with big time DR. If an Archer for example can shoot 6 times, and land 3 or 4 of those shots for 25ish damage hes able to compete with the fighter types who attack 4 or 5 times and land 2 of those attacks for 40ish. The big 2h fighters can "power through" the DR where the guys with light weapons or projectile weapons can not. I dont think there should be a clear benefit to a characters fighting style with respect to DR, especially when the party has no means to get around it. I guess what im saying is that something like DR/epic shouldnt be something that the party simply can not deal with outside of trying to "power though" it due to the impact it has on various character builds. I do not feel this way about any other DR type because their answers are all relatively easy to attain, and/or have spells that can attain it for you. Not having an answer to a given type of DR at later stages of the game is simply bad planning and bad prep on the part of the character/player. Maybe its just the player in me just bitching about how power attack and 2 handers are to good :). [/QUOTE]
