Well, alright. What do you suggest for a DR progression then?


That's because Sundering is so extreme because it permanently destroys an item. I expect that in Pathfinder (where it does not work that way, and is an example of the sort of "fix" I was talking about) sundering happens quite a bit more frequently.
Well, my game is 3.5, this class is 3.5, Sunder doesn't happen in 3.5.
