You have made some leaps of logic that aren't justified, which is resulting in flawed conclusion. This is the first part of your logic flaw. First, alignment and alignment subtype are not the same. They aren't even directly related in fact. For example, a creature can be lawful good with the [Evil] subtype. So you can't interchange their use at will. Second, you took the quote out of context. What it actually says is:So it's not because of alignment that the ability to bypass DR occurs. It's due to the fact that the appropriate subtype applies. No they can't. Alignment and an alignment subtype are not the same thing. An intelligent weapon would need to have the appropriate alignment subtype in order to bypass DR. Correct, but this fact bears no relevance on alignment subtypes. This makes it pretty clear that alignment and alignment subtypes are wholly independent of each other. Not sure what your point here was...Again, this is where you are executing a logic flaw. You are stating that the sword has an alignment, then jumping to the conclusion that since it has an alignment it is suddenly the subtype [Evil]. That's simply not correct. The correct last sentence is actually:Per the description of DR, a weapon that has an alignment subtype can overcome the appropriate DR X/alignment.</blockquote>
