Revision 3.5 Update by Ed Stark. The new damage reduction rules explained. The list of indicator types that can be used are: Magic (magic weapons), Epic (weapons with a +6 or greater indicator), Alignment, Special material (silver, adamantine, cold iron -- each will have creation rules and costs), Nothing (affects all weapons). The article also describes how the monk's unarmed attacks reflect the new rules (Magic at level 4, Lawful at level 10, Adamantine at level 16), and mentions a new spell, align weapon. There won't be any spells to imbue weapons with a special material aura.
This is from the enworld.org main page. This is interesting; I had not realized that they were eliminating 15/+1 style damage reduction totally. It's nice to see that adamantine unambigiously defeats some damage reduction now. Perhaps someone will finally use a adamantine weapons.
Is anyone else suprised that mithral doesn't have it's own damage reduction? I was rather expecting that.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
