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?

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.
