klode_me 03-13-05, 03:58 PM	does anyone know what damage reduction there is EX and what there is SU?
Barloch 03-13-05, 04:17 PM	I think all DR is extraordinary
Starmage21 03-13-05, 04:19 PM	DR #/Special Materials is Extraordinary DR #/Magic, Epic, or Alignment is Supernatural DR #/Combo (Bludgeoning and Magic [lich]) is supernatural

DM Zoc 03-13-05, 05:27 PM	Basically, the rule I use is that anything that you need magic or a supernatural ability to bypass is Supernatural in nature, while anything that can be overcome by good old mundane equipment is Extraordinary. This is in case the fight carries over into an anti-magic field; you're not allowed to have DR which cannot be overcome, as an Ex DR/Magic would be.
Egres 03-13-05, 05:34 PM	From the MM 3.5 Errata: Damage Reduction Damage Reduction is either extraordinary (Ex) or supernatural (Su). Use the following guidelines if it is not specified. • DR X/slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning should be (Ex) • DR X/adamantine should be (Ex) • DR X/-- should be (Ex) • DR X/silver or cold iron should be (Su) • DR X/magic should be (Su) • DR X/chaotic, lawful, holy, or unholy should be (Su)

The_Fan 03-13-05, 10:57 PM	This also means that while building a creature of the "animal" type, it can still have DR X/-, piercing, bludgeoning, slashing, or adamantine. Only one I know of though is the giant armadillo thing in Frostburn.
