[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 13643, member: 1656"] That's hardly a constructive response. She's cited rules from two different places in the Core books - she [i]has[/i] gone to the trouble of looking it up. She's asking for help with something that isn't made clear in the Core rules. Adjudicator statement was made as a fact, not an opinion, so she's asked for a reference. I don't have a reference to wholly support my interpretation, so I'll give it as an opinion - I believe the Steel Predator can't sunder magical weapons. Damage reduction can be overcome by magical weapons, [i]or[/i] by creatures with their own damage reduction. Two separate circumstances, either of which can apply. (MM p9) Magical weapons can only be broken by a weapon with equal or greater enhancement bonus. One circumstance. Creatures with DR are not mentioned. (PHB p136) DR vs DR is a completely separate issue to enhancement vs DR, just as enhancement vs enhancement is a completely separate issue to DR vs enhancement. The rules allow two ways to beat DR, but only one to beat enhancement. In my opinion. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
