Last weekend we fought a clay golem, and didn't have magic adamatine blunt weapons ( no big surprise there!), thus the barbarian could rage and hack at it fro 1d12+9 with his greataxe, but the guy with the crossbow doing 1d8+1 couldn't touch it no matter what.More hit points would completely change that dynamic.Fast Healing would allow damage from lesser weapons to be countered more quickly and so could considered to be similar, BUT it is much more bookkeeping.One option would be to go back to DR x/magic for everything except for the "specials".What I might be tempted to do is to keep the DR/slashing or DR/blunt etc which is really a structural issue for the creature and ditch all the restSpell Resistance - I'd change to a flat percentage chance of working which doesn't depend upon caster level of mage attacking... effectively a "miss chance" for magic. Set the percentage according to what seems right to you - e.g.SR 1-10 = 10%SR 11-20 = 20%SR 21+ = 50%(I've not looked up the SR spread of critters, I just pulled those numbers out of a flying monkey for illustrative purposes)Any good?</blockquote>
