Ok the vicious weapon deals 1d6 points of damage to you when you hit the enemy. Can this damage be overcome if you have damage reduction or is there any other way of lessening the blow?

It's an unnamed energy damage, presumably, there's no way to stop it from occurring (other than just not activating it, perhaps). On the bright side, twice as much of it's happening to the other guy as to you, and he doesn't have any way of stopping it, either.
