Also I saw someone saying DR being calculated in coaching. Normally we ignore DR in coaching because it doesn’t affect the party card. DMs don’t track it in rooms since it’s players responsibility to deal with all there damage they take.

I think the 20 DR cap is just going to confuse players that don’t spend a lot of time on the forums. I’ll try and make time to read though this thread better in the near future.

I understand the similarity. However, since Taborlin's Key isn’t always active like tokens that provide damage reduction, I don’t believe its once-per-game use should be subject to the existing DR cap.

I guess using the same logic tokens like figurine of power salamander and Lamp of the Marid would let you go over the hard cap of 20 as well for the one attack.

Tokens that must be activated or used to receive their effect do not participate in DR calculations.

The original post will be updated with the phrase “Global DR” replacing “All DR.” To be clear, Deathward Greaves provides Global DR. It is not intended to multiply its damage reduction across every individual damage type in a single attack, functioning consistently with Barbarian DR.

The description for Deathward Greaves in TokenDB will be updated to clarify this distinction and prevent further confusion.

For the handful of specific tokens that state they can mitigate multiple listed types of damage, they currently remain able to apply their DR to each applicable damage type per monster attack. This mechanic is being reviewed, but there are no official updates or changes to share regarding them at this time.

Can we also get TokenDB entry updates on usage of Medallion, Signet, and Badge of Nobility for Global DR when used with the Golden Ticket 2018 Odin's Medallion?
