So, any +1 (or better) weapon bypasses any non-magical armor's DR under the Armor as DR variant rule? Or a Large creature?
So, not only does Armor/DR make it easier to hit someone, they then effectively take away the DR by adding the Magic/Large bypass.
You're protected from "most monster attacks" but nearly all 1st level spellcasters can just do Magic Weapon to bypass that. Guess what spell just hit every caster's spell list that can possibly get it?
Same thing goes for Adamantine basically going to the top of every "must have" list in order to beat magical armor DR.
It ups it to an "arms race" with fighters scrambling to get magical armor and adamantine weapons.
