I understand the theory of the new DR rules. However taking 10 from every hit (or 15, or whatever) is a huge effect on a fighter who doesn't have much in the way of nice equipment or buffs (which with the new, nerfed buffs are going to be non-existant since they aren't worth a spell slot). If my LG character if fighting your golem he can do 1d6 +6 +1d6 cold (useless against a golem). Even on a flesh golem his damage is cut in half. Against a stone golem (more likely for his level-9th) he will only do damage 1/3 of the time and not much at all. Sure he can power attack, but he already needs a 12 or better to hit the golem, so any power attack basically removes his second attack. Also he uses a one handed weapon, so the new power attack change doesn't help him. Yes, beforehand if I didn't have the +3 weapon, I couldn't do anything at all, but I could find a caster to solve that problem, or I could get sure strike on my weapon. Now there is no way to have one weapon which you can use all the time. Yes, there are ways around the new system. Sure I could change to being a barbarian using a 2-handed weapon and power attack all the time when raging. Somehow that doesn't suit my character concept, but I guess that got thrown out with the bathwater. buzzard</blockquote>
