Arctic Warrior cold dmg bypasses DR

[Blue41]

Forgot to post this before, but I experienced with my last character that the cold damage from my Barbarian's arctic rage will still do damage in spite of elemental reduction. When I used a weapon with two forms of elemental damage, one would be absorbed while the other would not. At least two people told me they experienced this.

Damage Increase

Physical damage increase effects are converted to the wielded weapon's base damage type and are subject to damage reduction, damage resistance and damage immunity as usual. Other damage types ignore the damage resistance and immunity of creatures, but are individually subject to the hardness of a placeable.

This is why it will work on creatures with Protection from Elements but not on a door with a hardness rating.
