Why do Vampires have resistance to Silver?


Rules Questions


I'm the DM, and I read that Vampires have 10 Damage resistance to Silver. Did I misread this?


I believe they have DR/10 Silver and Magic.

Which means that a weapon needs to both be silver and magic to penetrate it.

They are weak against silver rather than having resistance to it.


Vampires have DR10/silver&magic.
It means they resist all physical attacks that are not silver AND magic. They are vulnerable to magic silver weapons.


Read this section. It tells you almost everything there is to know about how damage reduction (or DR) works in Pathfinder.


Thank you for clearing that up.
