Damage Reduction

After a fair bit o' neck ringing an' road trudgin I were happier then an ogre in a turnip patch ter get me learnin up ter level six as a Dwarven Defender.

Now fer them o' ye wuts got pointy ears an loves huggin trees this here's special fer me cuz I gets me damage reduction now. (me ma had a tear in her eye)

It just so happens I got me some magical armor wut has damage reduction also but the two of them ain't workin together.

This here seems a might bit peculiar.

That's not a bug, that's now the rules work. Damage reductions do not stack. Reductions (which are vs all physical damage types) do however stack with resistances (which are damage type specific). So if you traded in that +#/# damage reduction armor for an armor that grants /# resistance to slashing or bludgeoning or what-not, you'd get the benefit of the reduction and the resistance(vs the damage type for the resistance at least). Immunities also stack with the two previous items as well (coming first in the applied order I believe: immunity, reduction, resistance).

I read about it here when I was wondering about if Barbarian & Dwarven Def. DR stacked. It looks like it does, as well with the Epic DR feat.

Wow, cool.

I was thinking what Manny posted, but I didn't know about the link you posted, S'Vair. Very Interesting.

Well at least now I know wut were a goin on.

Some o' me relatives were less than impressed . . .

*Spews soda out of nose*

ROFLMAO!!

No he didn't!!

...

Freaking hysterical

(to explain: Crid levelled, and Grog shouted 'ye durn wizard!'. So Crid asked what he had done exactly to earn that title, and Grog said his Uncle Clanghammer gived it to Crid.... I mean, *gave* it to him... dammit!)

p.s. Yes, I did really snarf my soda, and yes it stings.
