Want to play with DR

Sharkon

First Post
I am interested in playing in a campaign and since my character can increase his DR / bludgeoning-magic and has no luck with his AC i want to increase my DR / bludgeoning. I know the axeblock , armor and shield ability ( DR 5 / bludgeoning) but i do not know of other items - enchanments or even spells to increase it further. Can you help with that ?

If I remember correctly there's a feat in Uneathed Arcana to improve your DR.

Edit: In savage species:)

I think Complete Warrior also had a feat to increase DR. It is inferior to the Savage Species feat, though, if that book is allowed for you (isn't it technically 3.0? Not to mention disgustingly broken...).

In Magic Item Compendium, the Armor of the Watchful Master (I think that's the name) is a set of items which improve DR. It stacks with permanent DR, and seems explicitly made for a barbarian to use.

In any case, you're getting the DR from magic items, or class/race? Because I don't think there are ANY avenues to help you if the former.

Not actually DR, but there are armor crystals in the MIC as well that let you ignore 1, 2, or 3 damage from an attack (respectively, for the least, lesser, and greater versions) 10 times a day.

Almost certainly unhelpful, but if your character happened to be a Goliath Barbarian, they have a racial sub. level to replace the barbarian's DR X/-- with DR 2X/adamantine. in other words, you get double the bonus, but it can be overcome by adamantine.
 

Roll With It from Savage Species is the easy king of DR feats, assuming that your DM allows it, as it grants DR 2/- and can be taken repeatedly.

The Thick-Skinned feat from Savage Species will improve an existing DR by 2.

Unearthed Arcana has a Bladeproof Skin feat granting DR 3/bludgeoning, but again requires DM aproval.

The Greater Resiliency feat (Complete Warrior) might be your best bet for increasing an existing DR by 1. Its a one-time only feat though.

If you're a warforged, there is the Improved Damage Reduction feat in the Eberron Campaign Setting book to increase your DR by 1. Again, a one-time only feat (unless you have the admantine body feat too).
