With Heward's haversacks common enough, this is not a big deal. With GMW providing the magic bonuses, this is no big deal.My biggest gripe with it is simple... it leaves spells untouched. A +3 sword may not do well against skeletons but a magic missile or ray of frost does just fine.All in all, i think DR would be better served as some form of rapid healing or regeneration with specific "does not work againsts" defined for it.If they wanted to add flavor, they seem to have failed and instead added bookkeeping and paperwork**************In conjunction with the new rule, i would expect to see the following...a random materials roll for magic items/weapons to reflect the frequency of silver weapons being made and cold iron weapons being made. Should also be in the mundane weapons lists.A suite of spells akin to GMW that alter the materials of the weapons.</blockquote>
