You didn't mention admantine, but I thought I'd throw it in as well as it is one of the half-dozen or so most common forms of DR you'll run into.When I play, I typically try to have my primary weapon be made of admantine, which is where I'd go next if I were you for "magic items" (try to switch out the +1 longsword for a +1 admantine longsword). This is long-term advice - having your primary weapon made of admantine, in addition to overcoming DR for some creatures, protects it considerably from sunder attempts (as well as making the weapon useful when smashing through objects). However, its very expensive (for a lower-level character) to make a weapon from admantine. As a stop-gap measure until you can afford such a weapon, I'd probably suggest admantine bolts in the interim.Alchemical silver and cold-iron are fairly cheap in comparison to admantine. In your case, I'd probably swap out the club for a mace made of either alchemical silver or cold iron, and make the lance from the other.I'd have to concur with the earlier poster - the number of creatures which can swallow you whole which have DR are incredibly few. If you do decide to do so, I'd probably suggest doing cold iron (as it doesn't cause the damage penalty alchemical silver does). The answer to your question on whether you can swap out the gauntlets that came with your armor is yes, you can.I don't have a favorite paladin spell to suggest unfortunately, but I did make my magic item purchase suggestion above.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
