re: yet another Sneak Attack Idea

Silver Crusade

I know that lots of smarter people are thinking of ways to make the sneak attack go further so that the rouge isn’t useless in a fight against an elemental/ Construct/ Undead/ oozes slimes jellies.
How about this idea: Instead of making these creatures immune to critical, give them a flat Damage reduction related to their hit dice. So every elemental/ Construct/ Undead/ oozes slimes jellies with 5 hit dice have DR 5 / -- and 10 HD have DR 10/ ---- and 15 HD have DR 15/----.
With this scenario, the fighter still has his tactics to breach DR, like power attack etc, and the rouge can come in handy to help breach the DR with his sneak attack.

Also I think this would be very simple and backwards- compatible.

What do you think?
