Looking for a Spell that grants DR/Cold Iron

[Kerrick]

I'm not really sure what fairy dust is, either - I kind of pulled that off the top of my head. I'd say it's either something the fey make (something they enchant for a lot of different uses, like putting big folk to sleep), or it's something you can make from ground-up fairy wings. If you're less bloodthirsty, go with the first - it would cost around, say, 100 gp for an ounce, which is about what you'd need for the spell.

Oh, I messed up on that spell - it doesn't stack, per the rules. I forgot barkskin was a natural armor bonus, not DR. I was also thinking about fey aura granting a flat 5/cold iron, but since (as several people have pointed out) cold iron weapons are so uncommon, I might just leave it the way it is.

And since I'm already here...

Also almost no monster does bludgening damage either.

Monks do. Most (corporeal) undead do. Basically, anything with a slam attack does bludgeoning damage, and there are quite a few monsters out there with slam attacks - you'd be surprised. DR 5/cold iron is much better than 5/bludgeoning - to get around the latter, all you have to do is pick up a big stick, whereas you need a special material weapon to get around the former, and unless you commonly go fairy or devil hunting, chances are you won't have such a weapon.

IMC morningstars and clubs are more common than swords . . . I guess it varies. If you had DR/bludgeoning your DM might actually pay closer attention to balancing out damage types.

No, but baddies don't often wield clubs or maces I can't think of the last NPC we ran across that did bludgening damage. Also almost no monster does bludgening damage either. That is what I was thinking. Dragons have to be old to do bludgening damage (not necessaraly "old" but claw claw bite doesn't do blunt damage I think they have to have tail slap to do it.) So it is much less common than Piercing or Slashing. If you have a better cost what would you price it at?

But their attack modes do have types:

From the SRD:


Emphasis mine.

WOW, I didn't realize that about a bite. I think that the 15,000 gp range is soundeing better and better. The only hitch I have is the Deamonhide spell being SO cheap to put on a magic item, and it granting DR 10 / Cold Iron AND Good. A Warlock can emulte Evil so he could gain the bennifets of the spell.
