If a creature has a damage reduction, must a character have (doing a death attack on this creature) a weapon with the special properties to overcome the damage reduction ?
If a creature is immune to sneak attacks, and become vulnerable to sneak attack by a spell, can a character do a death attack on this creature ?
Are there spells as grave strike, golem strike, vine strike for elemental, ooze creature ?
If yes, where ?
Thanks for your future help.

This belongs in either running the realms, or general chat, I hope a moderator will move there soon. This is a rule discussion not a discussion of a core product , (at least how I understand the intent for the topic splits).
If a normal weapon can over come the DR the weapon does not need to be magical. A creature with DR 5 can be killed with a death blow that causes 6 points of damage, 5 points ignored but it only takes 1 point to kill.
Not sure what spell there is the make undead or constructs lose imunity to sneak attacks. "undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks.", however if you can somehow remove imunity, indeed a death blow can be used.
There are spells that increase damage against types, there are many
magical items as well dervived from such spells. Sources vary, there are core rules and the optional/expansion books/sources. |

"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."
