dr x / - vrs B and P weapons

[Vidmaster7]

If a weapon does B and P do I apply DR twice once for Bludgeoning and once for Piercing?

Similar to what you do for energy resistance verses two types.

nope it means that if the dr is vulnerable to either B or P, the weapon will bypass it, otherwise, it is applied only once, since it applies once per blow.

I noticed there is a B and P and a B or P whats the difference there?

So it doesn't work like energy resistance. hmm interesting I wonder why they decided to make them different.

for the dr its tricky if its a melee weapon that does B and P damage at the same time it is only applyed once(eg. sword does 1d10(6)+5 b and p damage(11 all together) you have dr5/- the attack does 6 damage) if a granade goes off and it does 3d6(16) b,3d6(4) p and 3d6(7) s damage you would apply dr to each source of damage in this case with dr5/- taking 11,0 and 2 damage repectively.

with energy resist if a spell does 10 fire and 10 electric damage and you have fire and electric resist 5 you take 10 damage all together 5 fire and 5 electric.

b and p means it counts and both for overcoming dr if b or p you have to choose weather the attack will be b or p so if you choose p while fighting a skele they will get their dr but if you choose b they will not

I kind of see it I guess the melee weapon is really hitting once but all the grenades bits shrapnel and what have you is hitting a bunch of different times technically. so bullets apply once and aoe physical attacks would be per type. That is a bit odd.

well the shratnel is counted as different sources just think of it as a hollow sphere with diminitive sized gunslingers inside each shooting off a different kind of round one for pericing, one for bludgioning and one for slashing

That is definitely the most creative way I've ever heard a grenade described to me.

but it would totally make the greatest of character designs.

like your traveling and the party wizard asks you so what do you do and you replay i throw gunslingers at people and pull out what looks like a granade and the wizards like dont you mean granades and then your attacked by a dragon and your like no and you throw it and like a dozen gunslingers burst out shooting at the dragon.
