[QUOTE="Ashtagon, post: 5874684, member: 72335"] Something I'm considering... DR ##/whatever becomes DR ##/-. Where a specific item or items would have bypassed DR, attacks with that type instead inflict an additional 1d6 per 5 points of DR that the creature originally had. Exception: DR that is bypassed by magic does not grant any additional vulnerability to magic weapons under this paragraph. For example, DR 10/silver becomes DR 10/-, and the creature takes 2d6 additional damage any time it is hit by a silver weapon. DR 5/magic simply becomes DR 5/-. Finally, a magic weapon can bypass 5 points of DR for each plus it has. For example, a paladin is fighting a vampire (normally DR 10/silver and magic). Under this system, the vampire has DR 10/-, and takes 2d6 additional damage from a silver weapon (the magic component of the RAW DR is ignored in the conversion). The paladin's minimum "perfect" weapon would be a +2 silver weapon. The silver would inflict an additional 2d6 damage, and the +2 enhancement bonus is just enough to completely bypass the vampire's DR. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
