How does the DR on the character sheet for 3.5e actually work?

[Keltyrr]

So, literally on the character sheet for 3.5e there is a slot for Damage Reduction right below the hitpoints and so on.
This implies the idea that players should be able to put their DR in there and just have it work without having to do the retarded effects work around for bad design we have had to use in FGC for so long.
Yet nothing I put in there seems to have any impact on anything at all. Is this box just a useless deception?

That is just informational, use effects for the DR though I do not understand why the effect system is bad for that, DR works pretty good

That line field is just for it to appear in the party sheet window, just informational

The effect system is not intuitive, but it is really powerfull if you spend some time with it. Dont give up because it looks like programming code and is really sensitive to correct spelling.

The effect is;
For damage reduction 5 all it is
Dr: 5

For dr 8 silver it is
Dr: 8 silver
