Hey everyone. I was playing around with character creation using the Pathfinder Monk with some older rules from the Book of Exalted Deeds, specifically the voluntary poverty character advancement path. Seems like it would be an interesting match, but I'm puzzled about how the DR works with the both of them.
At level 19, the Ascetic gains DR10/evil. At level 20, the Monk gains D10/Chaos (or D10/magic if you're using 3.5 rules). I consulted the pathfinder SRD to check the rules on this one and the rules state, verbatim, that the creature gets the benefit of the best DR in the given situation.
Does this mean I get to choose whether I'm vulnerable to chaos or evil based upon the enemy I face? Do I let the enemy get the upper hand to whichever I am vulnerable? Or do I combine them and get a double reduction (i.e., DR10/Chaos AND Evil, meaning they have to overcome both with chaotic evil attacks)?
