12-10-06, 12:53 PM I have player in my group that is a dwarven Knight/Dwarven Defender that has the Dwarven Armor Profiecency feat, as well as the Armor Specialization(Battle Plate) feat. He also is wearing adamantime battle plate. My question is: does the damage reduction granted by the dwarven defender, amror specialization, and the adamantine material of his armor stack?

My guess would be that the dwarven defender and the adamantine would stack because they come from different sources. Skill and Armor. My logic behind this is that if damage was to get throught the armor itself it still has the ability to be shrugged of by the dwarven defender's abilty. The damage reduction from the feat is essentially the same as the dwarven defender's class ability.

DR from different sources do not stack. However, if one of the was an IMPROVEMENT on a DR, it would obviously stack.

As is, you take the best DR, which should be DR 3/-.

My advice is to find a nice suit of armor made out of something else and take advantage of what it can offer.
