Default Re: DR for the eyes...(Dungeon Fantasy)

Damage Resistance explicitly does not apply to the eyes IIRC. You need Nictating Membrane for that.

Also Dungeon Fantasy has been carefully designed for game balance, you will note that innate DR tends to be limited to DR 1 or 2 for the templates. Martial Artists can't buy DR 9 by RAW and if they could, DR (Chi, Tough Skin) does not apply to the eyes. It also has other limitations, it's very much not a forcefield.

DR from Basic is one of the best possible advantages to buy if you are going into a DF setting. You could spend 100 of your 250 points on getting vanilla DR 20 and then be basically immune to almost every melee attack. That's why it's heavily limited in the DF setting.

EDIT

If you can just buy stuff out of Basic, your most abusive option is likely some kind of attack power. You could buy a cheap rapid fire crushing attack for example that would be pretty much like a machine gun with infinite ammo, and have plenty of points left over for the DR 20 I mentioned above. Again, this is one the reasons why DF was designed like it was.
