I'm pawing through the MM, looking for evils to unleash on my trusting players, when I came across something I had forgotten about.
Hellwasp swarm.
It has a common swarm ability to be immune to weapon damage. Straightforward, direct, I like simple rules. But, wait, what's this? DR 10/magic. Okaaay, why would you need damage reduction when you are immune to all weapon damage? Did I miss an errata update? I just ruled that it applied when the swarm is inhabiting a body, another of its abilities.
I was wondering if there were any other examples of blatantly nonsenseical combinations of abilities?
