Weapon Pluses and Damage Reduction


Rules Questions


Am I just making this up or what? I seem to recall a rule that magic weapons of a certain bonus to hit can act as a special weapon vs creatures that have DR against everything except a certain weapon enhancement. For example, I *think* I recall seeing that a +2 weapon is the equivalent of a silver weapon for overcoming a werewolf's DR. Help me, Paizonians! You're my only hope!

+1 bypasses dr/magic +3 bypasses dr/silver and dr/cold iron +4 is dr/adamantine and +5 is alignment based dr and +6 bypasses dr/epic

I believe it is in the back of the core rulebook. That is where it appears in the PRD.
