But it also included the "+" of a weapon in the hierarchy.3.5 does not have the hierarchy, you need the actual material.the Rules Compendium states: OVERCOMING DAMAGE REDUCTIONA DR entry denotes the amount of damage ignored (usually 5 to 15 points) followed by a slash and the type of damage, material, or magic that overcomes the DR. If a weapon or attack doesn’t have the indicated quality or qualities, that attack has its damage reduced by the number before the slash to a minimum of 0 points of damage. Possible ways to overcome damage reduction include the following.....The RC then lists various types of DR. so for 3.5:Nap you are right that you need silver, but spell wise any force damage will also work (Magic Missile).Do not neglect things like Silversheen, which make the weapon silver-like for a limited time. Also anything that allows Power Attack to overcome DR is good (bull's STR).DR works on each hit, so the two fighters that each do 8 points of damage would not damage the Yeth hound.</blockquote>
