What Does a Parenthetical After Damage Reduction Mean?

[IFedTheCat]

For example, on page 444 of the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, Ileosa Arabasti's statblock reads

AP spoilers:

DR 10/adamantine (70 hp)

What does that "70 hp" in parentheses mean? The Damage Reduction entries in the Glossary Appendices of the Bestiaries don't say anything about a parenthetical containing hp in DR lines.

Does anyone have an official source for what that parenthetical would mean?

IIRC, Ileosa has Stoneskin active, which gives DR 10/adamantine but soaks a max number of HP, 70 in this case.

Ah, that makes perfect sense:

Ileosa's statblock states that she is casting stoneskin from her major ring of spell storing. For rings of spell storing, per CRB pg. 482, "each spell has a caster level equal to the minimum level needed to cast that spell." Stoneskin soaks 10 damage per caster level and is sorcerer/wizard 4, so for a wizard, minimum caster level is 7, so stoneskin would then save 70 hp, matching that parenthetical.

Thank you for the answer!
