Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brown Jenkin" data-source="post: 675691" data-attributes="member: 2572">There was a request that those of us complaining put forth alternate sugestions as to what to do that would work. The answer I came up with is based off an article just published in Dragon #304 "Guardians of the Wild." In the article they give a template for Seelie and Unseelie fey. as part of the template is: Granted this does not solve the problem right away as the extra damage is hit by the normal DR. ---------------------Now for the solution:All monsters with DR would be given this (Ex) special quality that would also apply to polymorph.special quality: (instert material of choice) Vulnerability (Ex) The mere touch of (instert material of choice) deals 1 point of damage to the (insert monster name here). A hit with an (instert material of choice) weapon deals an additional +xd6 points of damage. (insert monster name here) with more than 6 Hit Dice gain damage reduction. When a (insert monster name here) of 6 or more Hit Dice is hit with or touched by an (instert material of choice) weapon, calculate damage for (instert material of choice) vulnerability (1 point for a touch or normal damage +xd6 for a successful attack) as if the creature did not have damage reduction, and then calucate the rest of the damage applying normal DR as appropriate.In addition to this change:Greater Magic WeaponDuration: 1(0) minutes/levelLeave all DRs as before.I believe this would solve everyones problem. Creatures are resistant to damage from normal weapons, but will take damage from special material weapons as approriate to the creature's flavor. A golf bag of weapons would not be needed since a character can still rely on his favorite magic weapon. If the DR is still to high for him he can go get a special material weapon that he may have to find out about or quest for. The specialist is still rewarded for having a magical special material weapon to hunt his favorite monsters with. GMW by being limited to 1(0) minutes/level will prevent groups from relying on casting it every morning but instead it will take up valuable spell slots if you need it more than once a day and will slow down an unprepared party in combat while it is being cast. If WotC wants to use this I give it to them freely to use as they wish.So any comments.</blockquote>
