However, I'm looking for a way around taking 1d6 damage back each round. At first, I thought of adding the mineral warrior template, and letting that nice DR soak up the 1d6. Then I noticed that energy isn't covered by DR, so that's out the window. " When a vicious weapon strikes an opponent, it creates a flash of disruptive energy " There is of course armor that protects against electricity, but that's certainly not the same thing. I'm stuck with using the SRD as my resource here.. is there an armor elsewhere that protects against energy? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly helpful
