Foo Lion Hardness and Damage Reduction


Rules Questions


Hello!

I am trying to figure out how the Foo Lion's Stony Defense ability works with its damage reduction. Here's what it says

Stony Defense (Su)

A number of times per day equal to its Hit Dice, a foo creature can harden its skin to unyielding stone as an immediate action. It gains hardness 8 until the end of its next turn, but its speed is reduced by 10 feet for the same duration.

On top of that it already has DR5/Bludgeoning. So my question here is if its total DR becomes 13 against slashing/piercing (8 vs Bludgeoning). Because of my understanding 'hardness' work exactly the same as DR for objects, though this is a creature, does it stack?

Silver Crusade

I believe so, though I'm not 100% certain.

Hardness would be applied first, and also applies against energy attacks, then the DR.

I believe there are constructs that also have both hardness and DR, but I don't have any of my books with me right now.
