The DR is 36/6*. It absorbs 6 points of damage against most forms a attacks, but against burning or crushing explosive attacks from any type of laser it protects for 36 points. It is ablative, so for every 10 full points of basic laser damage, remove one point of DR from the location hit. It is flexible, so for every full 10 points of cutting, impaling, or piercing damage or 5 points of crushing damage stopped by DR, 1 HP blunt trauma causes actual injury (B379).
