Outsiders overcoming alignment DR


Rules Questions


I remember from somewhere that when an outsider has an alignment-based DR it's natural attacks bypass the corresponding. An example would be a Hound Archon with DR 10/evil's natural attacks count as good aligned. Recently I was told it is all their attacks including wielded material weapons. Figuring I should look this up, I tried to find it on the OGC and can't. Am I just totally wrong or are those rules buried somewhere in the depths of the Pathfinder material? ^^;;

If an Outsider has an alignment subtype, such as Evil/Good/Lawful/Chaotic, its weapons and natural attacks count as that alignment for overcoming damage reduction.

This subtype is usually applied to outsiders native to the good-aligned Outer Planes. Most creatures that have this subtype also have good alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has a good alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the good subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are good-aligned.
