[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 332505, member: 96"] [b]Re: Re: Up the ante...[/b] Erm...in any campaign using the ELH as written, the PCs have the option of picking up the 'Penetrate Damage Reduction' feat - which does the same thing. The DR thing in the ELH seems to be a big sticking point for people, but remember: 1) Just because the PCs are epic level doesn't mean they can only fight the things in the ELH. There are monsters in the MM who have CRs > 20, and there's always the option of adding templates or classes - or even just more monsters. So you're not "doomed" if you don't instantly get a +6 sword. 2) If your DM goes crazy and starts throwing stuff with DR X/+7 at you immediately, you can take Penetrate Damage Reduction at 21st level. (It's on the Fighter bonus feat list, too.) Combined with a +5 weapon (which you're likely to have by then) you're OK until around 30th level (by which time you should have a better weapon...) Damage Reduction would be worthless if every party member at that level could bypass it. J [/QUOTE]
