Does the "Protection from arrows" spell help against an alchemist's bombs?

And does the extra damage from "Two-weapon rend" get added on to one of the weapons, or is is treated like an extra attack for the purposes of DR?

No. Damage reduction does not stop you from being set on fire and burning.

Damage reduction does not negate touch attacks, energy damage dealt along with an attack, or energy drains. Nor does it affect poisons or diseases delivered by inhalation, ingestion, or contact

No. Damage reduction does not stop you from being set on fire and burning.

Even though the DR is specific to non-magical ranged weapons?


Damage reduction never affects energy damage of any type.

Damage reduction never works against energy attacks, fire is an energy.

So set the barbarians on fire.
