Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaus" data-source="post: 2191237" data-attributes="member: 607">Regular warforged, even with Adamantine Body, don't overcome DR x/adamantine. Take a look at the Warforged Charger in MMIII. It has a special quality called, IIRC, "Adamantine Fists" (it's slam attacks count as adamantine weapons for DR purposes). Regular warforged don't get that.Keith Baker has said that the "Body" names are misnamed. The warforged aren't entirely made of adamantine. They are still made of composite materials (steel, iron, stone, wood), but with some adamantine lacing reinforcing their frames. So there is less adamantine in them than in a suit of adamantine full plate. Same goes for mithral.And hey, it's fairly easy to overcome DR x/adamantine. Just buy a set of adamantine gauntlets. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />House rule time: IMC, gauntlets aren't weapons. They don't require proficiency. All they do is turn your hand damage to lethal, and your hands count as the material the gauntlets are made of. So a monk could don adamantine gauntlets and overcome DR x/adamantine, using their regular unarmed damage. Gauntlets could look like armored fists, or they could be heavy studded leather gloves (like Gauntlets of Ogre Power). The only restrictions monk face is that they can't use their ki powers (like Stunning Fist) unless the gauntlets are enchanted with the Ki special ability.Since I'm into house rules territory, I have one for monks and natural attcks: if a monk has a natural claw attacks, he can choose to make bludgeoning or slashing damage with each attack. If he chooses slashing, the damage cannot be nonlethal. He uses his natural or unarmed damage, as desired.</blockquote>
