Resistance

Resistance hinders matching damage strikes and helps against matching damage actions.

Automated in The War Room

How it works

Full rule

Strikes with the named damage type suffer disadvantage when targeting the resistant Character. That Character has advantage on skill checks caused by actions with the matching damage type.

At the table

Example

Fire Resistance imposes disadvantage on a Fire ranged strike and grants advantage on a save caused by a Fire action.

Watch for this

Common mistake

Resistance does not directly reduce wounds; it changes strike rolls and relevant checks.
