Q6 What spells are there that protect against attribute damage?
Polymorph and Metamorphosis, assuming you can grab construct (see: warforged) or undead forms. Or human or strongheart halfling for their racial bonus feat. Also, anything else that grants feats of your choice (including the DCFS), assuming you are psionic and can grab the Psychic Bastion feat from Hyperconscious. It grants ability depletion resistance 3/-.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Q 8 What's the name of the epic feat that increases the DR you already have? I know there's one in SS that adds +2 to it, and I saw Damage Reduction for +DR 3/-.

Improved Damage Reduction? I dunno. Here, even though I was reverse-swordsage'd.

Either way, there's Roll With It, which gives you +3/-, and can be taken multiple times. Though it requires Toughness. See if you can sub out Improved Toughness, or buy it as a magical location or something.

You are thinking of the imaginatively-named Damage Reduction feat.

Roll With It and Damage Reduction don't help though. Already got 8/adamantine.

Yeah. It's racial. The SS works, but I was hoping for something better.

Adamantine full plate gives DR 3/-, so no go either.

Question 9: Is it absolutely required for a Half Celestial/Half Fiend to maintain there alignment axis? (Celestial have to be good and Fiends have to be evil?) I have yet to see a rule other than in the Monster Manuals description for them that they cannot be evil/good. What if I as a player am playing one? Do I take any penalties for playing them against their normal alignment?

You can be the opposite alignment of your alignment subtype, with no real penalties (other than possibly RP ones). However, there are some potential negative effects for alignment-based spells and such.

You get to keep the original alignment subtype ([Good] or [Evil], depending on which one you choose), while actually being the other alignment. This interacts in a rather complex manner with alignment-based effects (depending on if it affects non-Good or non-Evil creatures, or affects Good or Evil critters), as you count as both as long as you maintain your alignment.

Considering a succubus can be a paladin, it's quite possible for a character to have a certain subtype but actually have the completely opposite alignment.  Lycan went over the possible penalties.

Maybe it's different armor. The one I'm thinking of is able to separate from itself, and go from heavy armor to medium to light. I think it's sectioned.

Sectioned armor is in the Planar Handbook, page 69.
