[QUOTE="dok, post: 1062914, member: 12780"] I would vote against such an enhancement, both in general & in this specific instance. First, take the Quarterstaff. It's a metal-shod staff, and a double weapon. Which means you can have one end be cold iron, & the other be adamantine. Which, if you're a wizard and/or not into TWF with your staff, will work just fine. Buy a vial of Silversheen and all your bases are covered. So an enhancement isn't really necessary. Second, consider the other types of DR. Would you allow a "damage type mophing" enhancement to change your weapon damage between piercing, slashing & bludgeoning? I use this as an example to show the motive for the request: it's purely to always be able bypass DR with a single weapon, which runs completely counter to the whole point of restructuring DR. Lastly, think about what it means to not be able to breach DR now. It means your wizard with a +1 Quarterstaff will probably only do one or two points of damage with his staff, if that; rather than dump two points of enhancement into "polyweapon shifting", why not pick up two energy types? That's an extra 7 damage on average, which more than makes up for the 5 points lost to most DR. [/QUOTE]
