Even if you have DR of 11, when monsters in just the Iqhan cave can deal over 30 HP of damage/attack and have 2-3 attacks/turn, you can still take over 20 HP of damage/attack and over 40/turn. That is still a lot of damage, and if you are fighting with chaotic grip (-1 DR/level of c.g.) you will take even more. I applaud Oscar's decision to leave it alone.
Lady black,
Once again we are on the same page. Thank you for the support.

Good points Laby black and Tek,
but.... With my high DR and non critical character I made grinding trip from Thorins bed to Remgard without using any healing item at level 60..... so IMO some changes are needed in DR system

I find this truly hard to believe that DR is solely responsible for this achievement. With all those blood disorders from the spiders lowering your AC, thus increasing the battle time, you must either have the pure blood skill or really high BC in order to survive those long battles w/o healing up.

It can be done without any pure blood skill or high BC. The key of this kind of build is high DR and AC....

No offense, but I don't believe this to be true.
What is your block chance? What is your HP? Are you using the ROL?

Are all your points in DR from equipment? Because to get BARK SKIN you do need to have a relativly high BC, I totally believe that it can be done. I'm just wondering how you went about doing it.
My build is heavy on BC and DR, and i fly thru that area without any trouble. Potions are a thing of the past with a high REGENERATION and CORPSE EATER.
