Damage Reduction

[zolniena]

does damage reduction stack? if a shinobi bodyguard uses enkoudate no jutsu(which grants DR 2/-) does it stack with a class bonus?
also, another noobish quesiton. what bypasses DR? if it says x/-, does nothing bypass it? if it says x/chakra, is it only chakra that bypasses it? or does it only apply to chakra?

[redheadedtechie]

As far as stacking goes, I can't say (because I can't remember at the moment). But 2/- means a flat 2 DR that can't be overcome. 2/chakra means DR 2, that can be overcome by chakra.

Example: Korgoth (Tai specialist) has DR 2/- and is attacked by a sword and a Chidori in two separate attacks, he ignores 2 points of damage from each attack. Scamuth (Nin specialist) has DR 2/chakra is attacked in the same way. He ignores 2 damage from the sword but takes full damage from the Chidori.

(The example assumes a standard, non-chakra enhanced sword)

I strongly recommend reading the ability to see whether damage reduction stacks. I won't bother answering this one.

i admire your ability to point out what should be obvious, and to make me feel similar to a fool.
i am grateful though. i now understand.
