DR Adamantine ?

[Dorian Gray]

At various times I have encountered creatures with 'DR Adamantine 10' and no exceptions.

At first I dread the encounter and think "OMG, this is going to be painful because I do not have any Adamantium weapons on me".

But actually, it was not that painful at all. So much so I could hardly tell they had any DR.

How is this implemented in the game? Does it apply to spells as well? (note, there were no spell exceptions listed)

I just auto attack everything I see. Eventually with enough whacking, it will go down. It makes sense to me!

So those overcome any DR?

Where did you get this list?

I was completely unaware of this. Thank you.

This may have been why I could not tell 'DR Adamantium 10' did anything at the time.

DR10 isn't very high if you have dps characters worthy of the name.

To answer your other OP question;

It does not apply to spells or elemental damage of any kind. Only weapon damage and physical environmental damage (traps, story-book damage like falling, etc.)
