Can a sunblade bypass DR/Good?

yes.


Are you using common sense or do you have a source?


Um, common sense I guess. I've always played that if a weapon has an alignment (in this case good) then it bypasses DR. How else would a weapon bypass DR/good?

I know that the align weapon spell works, but isn't that because it give the weapon a temporary alignment?


Thanks,

You nailed it.

from prd...
Align weapon makes a weapon chaotic, evil, good, or lawful, as you choose. A weapon that is aligned can bypass the damage reduction of certain creatures. This spell has no effect on a weapon that already has an alignment.


"All Sun Blades are of good alignment"

Weapon Property Holy

"A holy weapon is imbued with holy power. This power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. "

Same wording if a bit different. Sun blades do indeed bypass DR/Good.
