However, don't you think that the CR of the creature will reflect the DR? Also, why would non-fighters be useless against DR5/+1? A cleric can still heal or buff his companions, a wizard or sorcerer can still blast the enemy, and a rogue can still sneak attack. Assuming you're 3rd level the wizard could do 2d4 +2 damage (enough to take out quite a few CR2 critters, and enough that two castings will take out most CR3s). The rogue deals 3d6 per succesful flanking attack (average of 10 -> 5 after DR). The cleric can still heal any damage that CR3 creature deals, and can increase the fighter's and rogue's ability to deal or take damage vis Bull's Strength and Endurance.Besides, how many low-level creatures actually have DR 5/+1?</blockquote>
