Default Re: When to homebrew and when to use the system?

Really, though, the only things that aren't infinite are defenses. As Kromm has stated, the only fair price for infinite DR is infinite points, so as it turns out nothing is truly "invulnerable" to damage. Some of the spells in Magic (missile shield, force dome) go against this, but are typically houseruled for "as much DR as the setting normally sees as damage". (I'd probably rule that it's quite possible for a nuclear blast to demolish a force dome in one setting where nukes are the weapon-of-last-resort for world governments (up to modern day, and near-future magi-cyberpunk) and not even scratch it in another where nukes are tossed around in bullets (say, a magical version of OGRE).)
