Since I haven't got the slightest idea of where to post my question, I'll post it here:

In 3rd edition you had damage reduction types that looked like this one: 20/+6 (example from the paragon template).

Now, my question is: what is the equivalent of this DR under 3.5 rules? This includes all the '+(random number)'-types of damage reduction. I don't think I can change it all to 'adamantine' or 'magic'. Please help me out.

If it was +6 in 3.0, it would be "Epic" in 3.5. Converting the number is a little more difficult. I'd wager 20 should probably be no higher than 15, and 10 might be a better number.

So in the end, your DR would be either 10/Epic or 15/Epic

And what is 'epic' for a kind of prerequisite? To overcome the DR you need to wield a weapon of epic equivalence? Or do you need to be epic? This confuses me :confused:

In the case of DR, "Epic" means it must have a +6 or greater enhancement bonus on the weapon.
