Hi all-

The original Core Rules from the original boxed set says that dwarves take half-damage from bludgeoning attacks. Cool

The 3e BRCS says the same thing- dwarves take half-damage from bludgeoning attacks. That is consistent.

However, in the latest, 3.5e BRCS, this has changed to dwarves have DR 5 / piercing & slashing attacks. The mechanic difference is one matter, but why has the resistance changed from bludgeoning to anything-but-bludgeoning? This makes no sense, and I can find no reason for this change.

What is up with that?
