A shining child’s primary attack is a ray of searing light. This attack has a range of 120 feet and bypasses all damage reduction.
And:
Ranged searing ray +19 touch (10d6 fire)
The bit about ignoring DR seems redundant to me: energy damage always ignores DR.
Speculation on my part: Maybe the intention was for the ray to ignore fire resistance / immunity?
EDIT: Also: This is one tough critter.
That would make sense, since as you said it would ignore DR anyway.
