Resistance

From RogueBasin
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Resistances offer creatures and objects full or partial protection against certain kinds of attacks and damage. Either innate or temporary protection (potion of fire resistance). A fire elemental would take reduced damage - if any at all - from heat-based attacks. A piece of armor might be acid-proof or rust-proof. Symmetrically opposite to resistances are vulnerabilities, e.g. an ice giant might be weak against fire. Often, resistances will be based on the elements.
