|  What stacks and what does not?
Okay... What stacks and what does not? Concerning damage reduction.
Class: Dwarven defender or Babarian
Constitution: +21
Armour:
Some armours have dmg reduction but a DD gets dmg.reduc. as well.
Do they stack or will the “higest dmg.reduc.” kick in?
Just a thought..

| RE: What stacks and what does not?
Dwarven Defender/Barbarian dmg redux stacks with the epic Damage Reduction feats, last i checked, though i'm not sure if they stack with each other, even though it wouldn't either be likely to have a Barbarian/Dwarven Defender character on Layonara since they require opposite Alignments.
Not sure if the damage reduction granted from armors stacks with Barbarian/DD, though.

Yes I know that you can not become a DD and babarian...
What I mean is:
example: DD + adamantium full plate + 23 con.
example: barbarian + iron full plate + 21 con.
Does all dmg.redution work at once? Do you add them together? | | | | |

As I understand, all DR that has a #/- stacks. As in, damage reduction that cannot be beaten by a magic weapon of any enhancement bonus. So the DD, Barbarian, and armor bonuses should stack. DR that can be beaten by a magic weapon of any kind does not, such as trying to apply Ghostly Visage (5/+1) with Stoneskin (5/+1 to 10/+5 depending on level). | | | | |

If I remember correctly slashin/bludgeoning/piercing resistances stack. However, damage soak (like you get on epic lvls from high constitution) does not stack with soak on armours. This may be wrong, but thats how I remember it from previous posts. |  | | |

Constitution isn't relevant for this matter, only for the epic DR feats, also, Iron Full Plates don't have Damage Reduction, they have Damage Immunity, which is a different property, and stacks with immunities of the same type, and with DR.

| It's the other way around, Damage Resistances of the same type do not stack with each other, and Damage Soak does.
Example: a 5/- Slash Resist belt and an Adamantium FP (5/- Slash Resist) wouldn't stack with each other, nor would a 10/- Cold Resist stack with another 15/- Cold one. Phsysical Damage Resistances work pretty much like Elemental ones.
I think Rayenoir is pretty much right on, regarding Damage Soak with a limited enhancement, like 5/+1 Stoneskin, etc.

I meant the epic feat flamestrike, which is only unlocked if you have con 21.
So basically what you are saying is that ghostly visge (5/-, +1) stacks with a stoneskin (10/-, +1)? I don't think it does.
I am pretty sure that slashing resistance from a belt does stack with slashin resistance from an armour. | | | | |

Yeah, it's only a requirement, you only need 21 Con. This was why i said that in the other post.

| No, I was saying that it doesn't. Because it's not (5/-, +1) and (10/-, +1), it's 5/+1 and 10/+1. A +1 magical weapon will go right through it, and magically beatable DR doesn't stack. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
