Expanded Draconic Bloodline Question

I was curious about the Draconic Resistance gained at level 3 when using some of the expanded dragon types which do not have energy based breath weapons.

Quote:
Dragon Resistances (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain resist 5 against your energy type and a +1 natural armor bonus. At 9th level, your energy resistance increases to 10 and natural armor bonus increases to +2. At 15th level, your natural armor bonus increases to +4.

If I chose a dragon type which had piercing or bludgeoning as its breath weapon, would that then grant be DR 5 vs that type of attack?


"For the purpose of the dragon resistance bloodline power, you gain DR that is bypassed by the two damage types other than the damage type that your breath weapon deals. For example, if your breath weapon deals bludgeoning damage, you gain DR/ piercing OR slashing. The amount of DR you gain is equal to half the energy resistance you would normally gain against all attacks of that specific damage type.
This is the PFS ruling.

So if I chose imperial forest dragon (piercing breath weapon) I would gain DR 2.5 (I am guessing that would round down to 2) -vs- piercing (bypassed by slash/bludg)?


looks like it.
