Playful Darkness, Destructive Shockwave and DR

[kaymarciy]

So. There's Playful Darkness who has DR 10/Adamantine from Nethys knows which source. And here's Seelah who got her weapon up to +6 with Weapon Bond and used Smite Evil (causes attacks to ignore DR). Seelah also has Destructive Shockwave mythical feat (let's not discuss whether it's good or not, she has this feat and that's it). On some turns the damage from the Destructive Shockwave is reduced and on some turns it isn't. Any ideas what may be the reason?

As long as the game won't have most bugs fixed - (that will take half a year - or a year at least) - can't say for sure if it's another bug or intended.

It's not that DR you gotta pass - for playful darkness you gotta deal radiant damage or manage coup de grace

What does it have to do with the Destructive Shockwave feat? I'm not asking about bypassing regeneration to finish it off, I'm asking why in some turns I can do 50 damage with Destructive Shockwave and on some turns I can't. I have a feeling it may be related to some obscure Rage power or something. Or it may be a bug.

50 damage from destructive shockwave that should be only dealing damage equal to your str modifier? Well, the fact that you can do 50 damage with it is strage itself :D

5 misses with 10 Str modifier equals 10*5=50 damage sometimes and 5*(10-10)=0 other times.

Hm-m-m-m. Playful Darkness info panel doesn't say it has Stoneskin or can cast it. That being said, it's quite possible that there's some sort of a bug and its DR temporaly goes off after it absorbs 150 damage. Am interesting version to consider.

Oh, I honestly didn't realize that it was on each attack, thought it works once per round :O

Now.. to make turbo STR stacking build with literally 0 attack and all natural attacks possible! >:D
