Pathfinder Damage Reduction feats/spells

[Yogibear41]

Are their any Pathfinder feats/spells that grant damage reduction? The lower the level that they can be aquired the better.

Stoneskin is the first spell that comes to mind.

There are a number of different ways to get Damage reduction. What class do you want to be?

Well, Stoneskin (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/stoneskin), of course, grants DR/10 Adamantine.
The Invulnerable Rager (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/barbarian/archetypes/paizo---barbarian-archetypes/invulnerable-rager) Barbarian Archetype grants DR equal to half your Barbarian level.
Bolstered Resilience (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/bolstered-resilience)doubles your DR verses a single attack, though at the cost of being fatigued next round and takes an immediate action.
Increased Damage Reduction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/barbarian/rage-powers/paizo---rage-powers/increased-damage-reduction-ex) is a Barbarian Rage Power that can be taken up to three times that ups your DR by 1.

Leaning toward a melee/wildshape oriented druid

Just wait for Elemental Body spells and get DR 5 / -- from them.

There are also the Stalwart feats, but they kinda suck real bad....

Protection From Arrows (sorc/wiz 2, summoner 2, alchemist 2). DR 10/Magic against ranged attacks.

Resist Energy (level 2 for basically everybody). Resist Energy 10 against one element. Kind of like DR.

Adamantium armor gives very small amounts of DR/-. Not quite as accessible at low levels, though.

The "Armor as Damage Reduction" variant would give most characters a degree of DR from level 1.

Invulnerable Rager (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/barbarian/archetypes/paizo---barbarian-archetypes/invulnerable-rager) Barbarians receive DR/- at level 2, which is doubled against nonlethal damage.

Ive come across the Planar wild shape feat that would allow me to apply templates to my wild shapes that grant Damage reduction, now I just need to find a way to get Know: Planes as a class skill so I can take the feat at a lower level, fear requires Know Planes: 5 ranks

Pathfinder doesn't work like that. The cap remains the same on class skills as it does non-class skills. A 5th level character has a maximum skill rank of 5 in any skill, class skill or not.

Having a skill as a class skill only gives the benefit of a +3 bonus on check with that skill if you have at least 1 rank in it.
