he attacks a monster with 10/magic.
does 10/- overcome magic?

i think a demilich should count as a magic weapon.

04-14-04, 03:28 PM Unnamed DR does not count as any type so a creature with DR 10/- does NOT overcome 10/magic DR. However, some monsters explicitly state that their attacks count as magical or evil or whatever, so check the natural attacks/special attacks sections.

04-14-04, 07:09 PM A creature with DR 10/- (ie a large Earth Elemental) can't overcome the DR of any other creature without magical aid (such as a Magic Fang spell).

A Demilich (as described in the Epic Level Handbook) deals magical energy damage and therefore ignores DR of any type.
