I just learned about the nerf, mid-fight, still grumpy about it.
Was the following approach to nerfing this feat considered instead? The next time I GM, I think I'll house rule it this way:
Benefit: Choose either kinetic damage or one of acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. If you choose kinetic damage, you gain damage reduction equal to half your base attack bonus. If you choose acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic, you gain energy resistance against that type of energy equal to your base attack bonus.
Personally, I've considered changing it to 'select one type of kinetic damage, you gain DR equal to your level that is bypassed by the type you chose'.
in other words, you get DR vs two of the three kinetic types of damage? That has appeal too.
Yeah, but different kinetic damage types are common enough among enemies it's never entirely reliable either.
