09-02-07, 10:23 PM Sounds kinda like a Monk feat in the PHB2 whose name I can't remember. Splitting Water Strike, Splitting Stone Strike? Something like that.

At any rate, it's just 5 points of DR. Just Power Attack. :)

09-02-07, 10:26 PM I could've sworn that there were some Feats or even Epic Feats that said your weapon is this or that purely for getting through DR, but with no other effects tied to this or that (as one might normally have).

I.E.; have a wooden sword that acts like adamantine to break through DR... but still just a wooden sword in the end.

Anything else that works along these lines?

The feat is Water Splitting Stone. In summary: You deal +4 damage when striking a creature who's DR you can't bypass.

Power Attack is right. If you're wielding a two-hander, five points of DR is just a -3 to hit (and you get a point of damage left over).

Do I get partial credit for remembering all the words? :)

It's an epic feat. Lets you and your melee weapons count as a material for overcoming DR, and can take it multiple times. Penetrate damage reduction.
