FAQ's DR applies to magic attacks that do
weapon type damage (bludgeoning, slashing, peiercing)
"as if it were from a physical weapon."
DR = damage ignored from *NORMAL ATTACKS* = nonmagical sources
Normal means "non-magical"
Attacks means "things that do damage"
Negates riders if totally blocks damage
DR Doesn't Apply:
touch attacks
energy damage dealt with an attack
energy drains
poisons (inhaled, ingested, contact)
diseases (inhaled, ingested, contact)
spells, slas, energy attacks
non-magical fire
DR = invulnerability, tough hide, instant healing
JJ - states FAQ'd SR applies environmental damage
So does DR apply to NORMAL environmental damage?
JJ states it's just untyped damage.
Falling damage is UNTYPED.
Nothing in here says DR doesn't apply to untyped damage.
Applies to all damage, regardless of source, except what's after the slash.
Unless the DR entry says it doesn't apply.
Ergo, DR applies to Falling Damage, even IF it is untyped.
Is there an actual statement somewhere where it doesn't apply to environmental damage? Because I'm not finding that anywhere. Only that JJ says it's untyped, and a bunch of mysquotes about it not applying or changing to bludgeoning or some other thing. It doesn't have to change to typed. It applies to anything except whatever is after the slash. That means UNTYPED. It applies to untyped just like it was NOT slashing with DR 5/slashing.
Am I incorrect in my reading of this? Did I simply miss the part of the book where it says DR doesn't apply to environmental damage (it isn't under the DR section).
