On the rules Armour as Damage reduction, Breastplate have DR 2/-Adamant Breastplate have DR 4/-Q305: Dous Adamant breastplate on the 20 lvl Barbarian give in summary DR 9/- or I have chose either add DR Breastplate to Adamant 4/- or to barbarian 7/-?
Kevin all TREE Stack? From Adamant 2/- from breastplate 2/- and from Barbarian 5/- in summary 9/-?
Quote from: SoloOptimizing is the antithesis of roleplaying because it takes focus away from the important parts of the game.I'm inclined to disagree. People work hard on there characters, there personality, back ground, appearance, so forth. No one wants there character that they have invested time, energy, thought, and probably emotion in to be killed because they didn't take strong enough feats or skills or spells or what have you.

Question: Is there a way to make a not-finessable weapon finessable? I remember that I've seen somewhere (Dragon?) such a thing (a feat?) but I can't remember where. (PF or 3.5)

No it stacks because it's the same type. They're both DR/-. If it said DR/adamantine or DR/cold iron, that's when it doesn't stack.
If a creature has damage reduction from more than one source, the two forms of damage reduction do not stack. Instead, the creature gets the benefit of the best damage reduction in a given situation.

If it said DR/adamantine or DR/cold iron, that's when it doesn't stack.No. Damage reduction from different sources explicitly does NOT stack. The DR from the Armor as Damage Reduction rules is a specific exception. Thus, you would have DR 5/- (Barbarian, non-stacking), DR 2/- (adamantine, non-stacking) and DR 2/- (armor, stacking) for an effective DR of 7/-.Quote from: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htmIf a creature has damage reduction from more than one source, the two forms of damage reduction do not stack.

The damage reduction granted by armor stacks with other damage reduction of the same type (that is, damage reduction that has a dash after the number). A 7th-level barbarian wearing a breastplate has DR 3/- (1/- from his class levels and 2/- from his armor).
I believe that's what I just said. Or are you interpreting it as a single damage reduction value for adamantine armor, rather than two distinct components (the adamantine's effect and the armor as DR effect), the total of which counts as a singular source from armor to stack with the Barbarian DR? I interpret each component as its own, distinct effect (as you can see in my post you quoted).

So I guess I'm interpreting it as a single damage reduction.
Where's the morphing weapon quality from?
Q 307: What is and how do you produce a double-focused specialist?
Q 308: Does a guide or handbook to negating XP costs exists? XP expenditure is one my very least favourite things in D&D 3.5, so I'm looking for methods regarding item creation, spells, powers, anything...
