Help With Damage Reduction

[Tellerian Hawke]

This is a question about 3.0 (NOT 3.5!) Damage Reduction:

Let's say you're a Quasi Deity (Divine Rank 0) being, and you have a DR of 35 / +4.

That means that you can hit a +4 creature with your bare hands. I understand that much.

I think (90% sure) that if you pick up a normal weapon, you can still hit a +4 creature with it.

But what if you pick up a magic weapon? Let's pretend it's a +5 sword.

Would it stack, making you able to hit +9 creatures?

Or would it overlap, making you able to hit +5 creatures?

Thanks in advance, guys!

Peace out.

I believe it is only the creature's natural weapons that count as +4 weapons. So if the creature picks up a normal sword, he's out of luck, and if he picks up a magic sword then it is the "plus" of the sword that is used unchanged, whether that is +1 or +5.
