If I get hit for 10 points of pierce dmg do I 1/2 it to 5 and then take off 2 for 3 points dmg or do I take off 2 and then 1/2 the remaining 8 for 4 points of damage. Thanks

Chells 11-09-07, 12:54 PM	Ok I think I got it. So the 1/2 dmg pierce first then DR. Right? Also I get the 1/2 pierce from my race and the DR from my class. Does that change anything?

No. That the way you need to figure out the damage all the time when you have those kind of abilities. First you multiply (by 1/2 in your case) then you apply the DR. Unless otherwise noted of course.
