Deadly Juggernaut and Fate's Favored

[Zahir ibn Mahmoud ibn Jothan]

Ok, no questions about how these interact with respect to the attack, damage, and strength parts of Deadly Juggernaut.

I interpret Deadly Juggernaut that all of it's bonus are Luck bonuses, even the DR. Do people concur? It's certainly unusual to have such, but that seems to be how the spell reads.

If that's right, then after I drop an opponent, I'd have DR 3/- right? After two it is DR 5/- and so on maxing at DR 11/-. Not that you gain DR 3/- for each opponent dropped, thus maxing at DR 15/-, just like you're not gaining +2/+2 on attack and damage per opponent, you figure it normally per the spell and just add 1 from the trait after the spell calculations.

Thanks in advance.

I would only apply the bonus once for the spell. So after one kill you'd have +2 to rolls and DR 3/-, but after two kills +3 and DR 5/-.

With every enemy life you take, you become increasingly dangerous and difficult to stop. During the duration of the spell, you gain a cumulative +1 luck bonus on melee attack rolls, melee weapon damage rolls, Strength checks, and Strength-based skill checks as well as DR 2/— each time you reduce a qualifying opponent to 0 or few hit points (maximum +5 bonus and DR 10/—) with a melee attack. A qualifying opponent has a number of Hit Dice equal to or greater than your Hit Dice –4.

I read the wording of the bolded part in a way that only the bonuses are luck bonuses and that the DR is in addition to the luck bonuses but not one itself. And as the DR doesn't seem to be cumulative as per the wording.

And the increase from fate's favoured is only applied once.
