Stone Shaman DR


Rules Questions


I was looking at the Crystal Tender archetype and I have a question. How does the Reciprocal Resonance ability from the archetype work with the Body of Earth ability from the Stone Spirit? The archetype and spirit seem intended to work together, but both grant DR/adamantine. Does it stack? I doubt it, but then the archetype ability feels like a waste.

Thank you.


One comes online four levels before the other.
And that's about the one benefit, because I don't think they stack in any way.

Plus, stacking them would give you the equivalent of a DR equal to half your level (with a weird staggered progression, but still), which is highly uncommon and mostly a martial thing. Barbarians and Stonelords. Maybe a few more, but I don't think casters have that - not without using spells or spell-likes. You have Stoneskin for a reason.

Silver-lining being that Reciprocal Resonance is just an option you can just choose to not use on a daily basis, and it would allow you to still get the DR if you go for another spririt, or if you have an archetype that prevents you from gaining it from Stone in the first place (...should one come out).
