Affliction and split DR

Ogbendog · 10-19-2005, 08:48 AM

If a target is hit with an affliction, they add 1/5 of the DR to their HT for the check.

what if they have split DR? either built in or from wearing armor, like the 12/4 "full DR vs piercing and cutting only"

My first impluse is that the affliction is neither piercing nor cutting, but is that the right impulse?

First off, they add all of their DR, not 1/5 (unless the Affliction has Armor Divisor (5) as an enhancement). Since the "bonus DR" is only versus piercing and cutting attacks, then it doesn't apply here, because an Affliction is neither. Only DR that protects against everything (or has Limited: Afflictions) will help to stop an Affliction.
