Is there anything that can be done about DR/magic?

Hello,
As I understand it if your Toon has DR/magic, such as Perfect Self from Monk lvl 20, if your foe has a +1 EB or greater, then all their damage will bypass the DR/magic.

Some options for change:

- change to 10/Lawful ( for fighting against all chaotic beings, the antithesis to Monk Lawfulness)
- change to a Monk being able to pick 2 x 5/energy type or 5/damage type (blunt/slash/pierce). Kinda like Warlock or Favored Soul.
- change to 3/-. It's better than nothing!

Thanks for considering.

I don't know...Do Monks need help? I always felt the DR/Magic was supposed to be more of a flavor ability... After all, Monk 30, M20/DC10, M25/SD5, M20/C3/SF7, M26/F4...all of them are already very strong defensively, so not sure what the purpose would be to give them 10 DR on top of that. Definitely no to 10/Lawful from me personally. If anything I would still want the DR to be bypassed relatively easily such as perhaps Cold Iron or Alchemical Silver, thought that doesn't make much sense in my opinion.

Is there a M20/X10 build that really struggles because the DR doesn't apply to most epic locations?

No monks dont need more powa

I'm not asking for help for Monks explicitly, I'm asking for ideas to make DR/magic worth something. Though, maybe ONLY monks have DR/magic and nothing else in NWN2?

Even a change to 1/- would be better than how it stands now.

Ghostly visage and greater visage of the deity have it as well.
