Energy attack and DR

[Netherek]

Does anyone know if you apply DR from armor to damage from energy attacks like Kothic Demon Fire? I can't seem to find anything on it.

I have only allowed my players to use armor damage reduction against melee or ranged weapons.

pg. 132 AE edition:

Whenever a character is hit in combat whether from a melee or ranged weapon, the Damage Reduction (DR) score of any amour he is wearing at the time is deducted from the damage rolled by the weapon.

Hope that helps.

That's basically how I do it as well. When the party is armoured up the ying-yang, nothing gets the fear of the gods in them like a nice flaming attack.... Or any other energy for that matter.
