So I recently went toe to toe with some of the more demonic creatures of the Realms, and noticed that my magical weapons were doing little damage, upon further inspection (monster manual 3.5) I noticed these demons had damage reduction/good. this means they are only harmed by Good aligned weapons. Normally a cleric can change alignment of a weapon to do this with the Align Weapon spell, but it does not appear to be in game.
Anyways, so I purchased a cold iron weapon, hoping this would be more effective. Only to find out that it too was nearly ineffective. So I am here to simply ask how the game's system works. I know some of this information could be attained IC, but I also see it as sort of a game mechanics clarification. Any help would be great, thanks.
Cold Iron and Aligned Weapons
Re: Cold Iron and Aligned Weapons
3.5ed demons can have dr10/cold iron AND good - which probably explains why you couldn't break through it. A weapon has to have both qualities to bypass the DR.
It's the lack of Align Weapon spell that's screwing you over - if you had that, apply to cold iron weapon, stab demon.
