Intelligent weapons and DR / Good?


Rules Questions


Does an intelligent weapon with a NG alignment count as Good for the purpose of overcoming DR/Good?


I would think yes, the weapon being intelligent but being aligned to NG makes perfect sense to me.
However, would you consider a NG monk's fists good aligned?
Because if no, then you must treat the intelligent weapon the same.


A monk eventually gains the ability to bypass DR lawful and admantine by spending a ki point. However, a monk does not gain any inherent ability to bypass good or evil DR, so no the monks fists do not bypass the DR. I don't not think an aligned weapon counts as being able to overcome DR, that is what the Holy weapon enchant is for. If the weapon is intended to bypass that alignment it would have the enchant on it.

No more than its good-aligned wielder does.


Yes that's what I was thinking too. DR/Good needs something directly from the Good aligned planes powering it, not simply the wielder (or the weapon) being good.

Just figured I ask.
