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..

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.
